8V S3 and 8V RS3 coilover interchangeability?

[ilikecookies]

Anyone know if coilovers are interchangeable for the 8V S3 and 8V RS3?

Looking to grab some Bilstein B16 PSS10 for my S3, which I've decided to toy around with for a bit while keeping an eye our for a used RS3, hoping I'd be able to move the coilovers over if possible once I pull the trigger on the RS3

The part number of the B16 PSS10's will tell you want they fit and if they are S3 and RS3 compatible.

OEM suspension is the same for both I think (example is put code 8v0413029p into ecs), when changing the brake discs on my RS3 I noticed that the stock absorbers even have S3 written on them. Based on my research lowering springs for the S3 should also fit for the RS3.
Had a similar case, where I ordered lowering springs and before they arrived managed to write off my S3 and replace it with an RS3.

Bilstein looks to be interchangeable, but when looking at the KW v3, it looks like it's not, wondering what the difference is.

Edit: got a response from KW, the valve and spring rates are vehicle specific
