Yes they will fit, but the weights of the cars are different, and will not be suitable at all.

You need stronger Diesel ones for the TDI unfortunatly.

the springs are for 1.8t engines only. all the other engines/cars weigh less or more and the springs aren`t designed to fit on other models.
they would probably upset the handling on other models.

According to Eibachs website there are only 2 types listed for a 6L ibiza(mk4)
E10-81-005-01-22 listed for 1.2 1.4 1.6 ibizas up to 860kg and
E10-81-005-02-22 LISTED FOR 1.8T 1.9SDI 1.4TDI 1.9TDI up to 960kg

The rear springs are the same but fronts are (stamped on)
11-81-005-01-va for 860kg
11-85-008-01-va for 960kg

So according to the site they are the same??:confused:
