Personally I'd ask them so you can return them if they don't fit.

I think I'm right in saying they'll physically fit, but the engine in the '6 is heavier than other models, so I think 6-specific suspension tends to have a different spring setup.

Plus tbh for £150 you're probably better off with standard suspension...

At that price if they work it's a bonus, I doubt they would last a year but a mates got a few sets to stick on 205's so in a few months I might be able to say for sure
