[s-cars] Rear Suspension Type

On a related question - obviously the rear struts are different
between the standard version (the A6?) and the sports version (S6),
but are the springs different or the same?

In other words, can I take a set of factory sport springs designed
for a 95 S6q (sports suspension) and put them on my 95 A6q (regular).
I was not able to figure this out by looking at the family album.
Anyone know the answer?

Thanks,
Franco
