The short answer is "No!", the pressure (spring rate) and valves (damping) will be all wrong.

Try AEP instead - next day delivery (IIRC free) of IFHS spheres anywhere in mainland Britain; I ordered mine late one afternoon, spheres delivered (Glasgow to Gloucestshire) before 10:30 next morning - perfect timing, I'd just loosened both rear corner spheres. About 2/3 GFS price for Xantia spheres.

excellent website with all the data. If AEP haven't got stock, they can get spheres made to order by IFHS (in Belgium) within a few days.
