No going to to work, spring seats are totally different, spring rate, size, different position on rear arm etc.

The rear arch gap will probably be about a foot even if you did botch them on!

looking at the pic in your "audi have dangerous bolts thread" it looks like you have adjustable rear spring platforms for your red rear springs, maybe adjusting them might raise the car up...

Jason, I have set the highest, but every time I go thru a bump I hear squeek-may be lower control arm bushs need to be replaced.
Luckily, I did not pick up the A3 springs from the suspension place. I should just get a pair of second hand s3's stock springs instead.
