C4S and turbo springs

I have a buddy who is purchasing my 996 H&R springs from me. Will they fit on his 996 turbo? From what I've read... The suspension is pretty much identical. Just need to make sure.

Thanks

They'll fit physically, but won't be right - turbo spring rate is higher in the back to account for the extra weight.

agree with pmalik, wont work properly.

I believe the front spring rates are the same, but the rears are stiffer in the turbo cars

Ok, had a friend just install some from a C4S model, no issues. But thanks for the heads up.
