Default Need help. Will rear coil springs from a 98 fit a 96?

Bought a 1996 2.8quattro a few months back, it needed some work and is almost complete, just needs one more thing that i cant find. One of the read coil springs is broken and needs to be replaced. Cant find an exact replacement for the 1996, will spring coils from a 98 fit?

yes it will fit as long as it came from another 2.8 or S4 that has the same drivetrain. no modification is needed

Are you guys sure a C5 spring will fit a C4? I've been asking that question for months with mixed answers....

well quattro is not because of the weight difference, the rear end on the FWD is a totally different setup.
