Default OEM 2001 4.2 shocks fit 99 quattro V6?
Will OEM 2001 4.2 non-sport shocks and springs fit 1999 quattro V6? I am trying to sell them and potential buyer was asking that. Thanks in advance for any help!

Different valving. Just might fit, but it won't have the right damping rate.

just firmer damping, which wouldn't be bad if that's what you want (I do)

Yes, but will it work with the spring rates, or make it harsh or bouncy?

Since I am selling them both OEM shocks and springs together, they should work fine together, right?

Default So long as the weight is the same. A 4.2 and other A6 have different rates completely.
Might be a bit harsh and jittery on a non-4.2.
