    Watch deutsch auto parts mk7 video. Its fairly close to an A3 install. Difference is the bolts are bigger. If i remember correctly you need a 17mm & 22mm strut socket, I made them by cutting half the wall off regular sockets. And you'll need 16mm and 18 for the rest of the stuff. Triple square axle bolts will need m10 vs m8 in gti video.

    For coilovers but will give you some tips. Overall really easy to replace just the springs.

    Hey...

    Please keep us updated on this work as I'm curious if the S3 springs stiffens up the ride and lowers the car.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the information, I'm currently contemplating the outcome of this initiative. If it's worth it or not.
