Bilsteins for 200q Avant

[Larry C Leung]

All I know is that the front's are correct for stock springs. The sports
(shorter, apparently the same damping rates) are P36-0369. I thought the
rears for the wagons were different than those for the sedans. I do know
that you should have the larger thread for 200 sedans vs 5000 sedans
though.
