Yes, with a creavat: The 2.8 engine is heavier than the 1.8T, and the front will drop lower than expected if you put the heavier weight on the lighter springs. Not a bad thing, unless you don't like that look.

i don't recommend putting 1.8t springs on the 2.8. due to the smaller spring force, your car will be very bouncy.
