    ur quattro front struts are a larger diameter than coupe quattro struts sal, so not the same mate

      Thanks for letting me know
      I was wondering though, what difference would it make if I used cq ones to get converted to coilovers by h&r?
      The steering arm bit might be different but even then I could use cq steering arms anyway I'm guessing

            the ur quattro bottom ball joint pin is larger diameter, so you will have to use coupe quattro ones as well as the steering arms too. also shocks would'nt be as beefy being smaller diameter. Im not to sure if ur wheel bearings would fit into coupe quattro struts, but you would have to change them because ur drive shafts are larger too. seems a lot of work to basically down grade

              I think youre right Butch
              I'm thinking of going this route first, I've already got the collars and threaded section. If it doesn't work out I'll just call it a day and send to h&r
