Hey, im about to buy neuspeed race springs locally and just noticed that the springs are for a b6 quattro..I understand that b6 springs fit on b7 but will quattro springs fit on fwd?

yes it will, the spring rates will probably be a bit stronger though, meaning a stiffer ride

Does that mean im gonn ahve a bouncy ride? Will it go as low?

Quattro springs will fit on a FWD, but you may have a little forward rake. Quattro springs are slightly more firm to accomodate the extra weight of the quattro. Putting stiffer springs on a lighter car means it won't lower as much since you don't have the weight in the back.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I did what any good AZ'er would do when wondering about something for my car. I searched for this topic, this thread came up, and now I've got real world experience to share.

I just put 2008 B7 quattro Sline springs on my 2008 FWD, and it looks good to me.

Rear checked in at 27" fender to ground on stock springs. With quattro, s-line springs, I'm sitting at 26.25 rear. Not bad for a conservitive drop.
The fronts didn't drop too much. Went from 27" to 26.5". I'll rectify that with B5 lowering caps.

The ride is great too paired with s-line, quattro shocks.

Here are the pics!
Note on wheels: 18X8, ET45. 10 mm spacers front, 12.5mm rear.

2008 B7 quattro, s-line springs. Green, white, white front. Red, red, white rear.

Update for the other poor FWD souls out there.

Installed B5 spring perchs today. This is it for me. Perfect DD drop. FYI, this is 2008 B7 A4 AWD s-line supsension + B5 lowering caps on a 2008 B7 A4 FWD. Measures 26.25" FTG front and 26.25" FTG driver rear. Passanger rear is 26"

My post and pics above saw fronts were 26.5", but I measured before this install and they were at 26.75". Not sure how they raised, but I can see noticable difference with these B5 caps on.
