Springs on stock shocks are a bad idea, especially with old shocks.
The 2.8 is heavier than the 1.8T, the front end will sit lower than expected on 1.8T springs.
The suspension is different for the quattro and FWD, so keep an eye on that.
Spring and shock kits- about 800 bucks on ecstuning.com/ V-maxx coilovers, about 750.

Whichever ones are least expensive, I guess, since you're going to have to replace the entire suspension shortly thereafter if you put the springs on the stock shocks. NeuSpeed makes a "race" set with about a 2 inch drop.
