Default Type89 springs on a type85?

Hey, anyone know what the end result would be from using early typ89 Eibach springs on a typ85? That would keep the height about the same, right? IIRC, if you use stock typ89 springs on a typ85 it raises the car 1-1.5", and Eibachs lower by about that same amount...so typ89 lowering springs would = stock hieght but firmer on a typ85...right? I'm rebuilding the front suspension and would love some stiffer sprints up front, but I'm not touching the rear at this time, so I would only be upgrading the fronts. I can get a new set of type89 front Eibacks for dirt cheap (the rears were messed up, so price is cheap being front only). So, I'm jsut trying to think this all out...

Sounds like some logical thinking to me!

It's a quattro, but you get the idea:

Standard. They are off of a coupe Quattro.
