anyone know if OEM B6 S4 shocks will work on a A4 1.8T, part #'s inside and very similar

Obviously springs will be different but here are shocks part #s
S4 part #'s 8E0 413 031 CP and 8E0 513 033 L. B6 A4 1.8T (avant) part #'s 8E0-413-031-BP and 8E0-513-033-G. Note that only the last letter is different. I've also obtained shock part #'s from a B6 sedan and the part #'s again only differ in the last letter...anyone know what this last letter indicates?
thanks
Jeff

I'd say don't do it...

S4 shocks are designed for different weight distribution and so they may actually make the car handle worse rather than better

if you're looking for OEM suspension upgrade, get the OEM sport package shocks
