For coilovers, it shouldn't matter. Main difference between V6 and 4-cyl springs is tgat springs meant for a 6 will cause a four to sit higher due to less weight up front. With coilovers, you just compensate by adjusting the spring perches. Physically all the B5 suspensions interchange as long as you're not trying to fit fwd gear on a quattro or vice versa.

And as long as you have 16" wheels the A8 brakes will clear.
