I struggled to find a part number for the rear springs on my 8V 2014 S-Line that has S-Line suspension fitted. Putting in my registration number on the usual sites (Autodoc, Euro Car Parts, etc.) only referred to "with or without sports suspension", so presumably Sports and SE, no mention of S-Line.

But when I looked at the springs on the car, there were no paint marks that identified the type. I know they haven't been changed before because I've owned the car from new.
So, long story short, I phoned up Euro Car Parts and they tell me my car's springs are not listed on their website but they can supply me the correct ones. I've now fitted them and they are identical to the ones I took off and they preserve the ride height of the car.
Sachs 627448780 are for both S3 and A3 (with S-Line suspension). Images attached showing old & new spring along with part number.
Hope this saves someone searching fruitlessly in the future.
