That's a  90 200qa with a V8 engine.  Its suspension parts would be smaller
than  a V8's.  I doubt even 90 V8 springs would fit let alone something  from
a 93.
 This is why people should be careful about typing without proper  research...
 
 ALLLLLLLLL Type 44 and C4 chassis Quattro springs are  physically 
interchangable. From the first type 44 5kq all the way to the 98 A6q  Avant. That list 
includes 5k, 100, 200, A6, V8, S4, S6.
 
 The difference is spring rate, all auto V8's use the same spring rate  on 
both ends of the car.
 
 So the answer to the original question is, yes and maybe no. H&R  springs V8 
springs are compatable with any V8. IIRC though the Eibach's listed  for the 
V8 are actually for a 200 and result in a extremely low ride ht on the  
heavier V8.
 
 Specific to the V8 Avant which has a heavier rear end than a normal  V8 I 
would strongly consider a specific setup. H&R's on Bilstien Sports and  have the 
rear fitted with ECS Tuning's 23mm rear spring seat spacers... they are  
listed for the C4 chassis S4 on ECS's website.
