You just need the right Eibach prokit springs. This you have to becareful because the one listed on the Eibach US website is incorrect.
You need this one: E10-15-021-13-22.
The easiest way to confirm is to go to the Eibach international website and order the Eibach springs for the S3, which fits the A3 2.0T quattro and the A3 2.0 TDI quattro (EU only). The stance is like this:

I have the V810s on my car, sport package so lower than stock A3 and DWS06s. Its stiff. Its real stiff. Not bad stiff, but I drove a loaner A3 with the non sport and 18" wheels a week ago and it's a significant difference. I like the way it handles and I do want more stiff of course, but you will notice a drop in ride quality if that matters to you. I still want a little more low because of the reverse rake these cars look like they have, but a LOT better with 19s looks wise.
If you do not like a really hard ride do not get both low profile and run flat tires. They ride like a board.

Those are the correct B8 shocks.

E10-15-021-12-22 = diesel?
E10-15-021-10-22 = gas?

It dropped from 27" FTG both rear and front to about 25.5" FTG both rear and front.
Just to add more details, if you dig around the international Eibach website, you will realize that the E10-15-021-10-22 springs are meant for the weaker EU A3 with the weaker 2.0T engine; while the E10-15-021-12-22 springs are meant for the S3 sportback. That's why the Eibach USA website is incorrect.
If you look up the international Eibach website, you will see that E10-15-021-13-22 springs are meant for the S3 saloon (sedan) and it also works for the 2.0TFSI Quattro saloon.

M apologies. There was a typo. I installed E10-15-021-13-22.

I was told to check what my maximum front axle load is to determine the correct springs.
