[V8] S6 springs in 5kqt? What will happen...

[NIck Miller]

T44 only as far as I know.  I know there is some interchange possibly on 4ks
with shocks, I don't remeber.

Springs it goes Audi 5000 QT, 200QT, V8, S4/S6, C4 100, C4 A6.  The 2wd
versions don't convert except for the front as recollection serves.

Shocks are also largely shared, but I don't recall the interchange.
