Default quick suspension question

I have a b5 non-S4, I have come across a good deal on S4 springs.

Can i throw the springs on my car or do i need the struts as well??

You should be able to use the springs......you should also be able to use the search feature on the forum and that would have given you the answer.

Many decide not to swap out the struts, but since everything is coming out anyway, and if an extra $200 isn't too much, why not replace everything?

The S4 springs are stiffer correct? And will they yield the same ride height or will there be clearance issues? Everything Ive found is factory info and it says they are the same height...

Anyone got 2 cents to throw in?

The springs are off a 2.8L. What would this do to my ride height?

Raise it right, considering its a lighter engine?
