Thumbs up

Go for some good quality aftermarket stuff like H&R or Eibach. As above 4wd stuff wont fit a 2wd.

If your car is 2wd it wont fit as the rear suspension is totally different the front might but then whats the point.

Even if your car was 4WD id still say whats the point as theres much better stuff out there for probably similar money as the S3 setup. And the aftermarket stuff would be designed for your car and not a car thats 200-250kgs heavier, runs wider tyres as standard and has a wider track.
