I had to change OE shock absorbers and springs. The car is Audi A3 Sportback 35 tdi Sport s-tronic, 50.000km, 2019. Sport chassis. WAUZZZ8V4LA015257
I bought front and rear Sachs shock apsorbers.
I bought Eibach R23120 front springs (original part 5Q0 411 105 FF), length 289 mm
Eibach rear springs R13605 (original part 5Q0 511 115 FJ) length 316 mm

Now i see that original springs were:
5Q0 411 105 FF front 289 mm length
5Q0 511 115 FJ rear 312 mm length

Is it possible that Eibach front and rear springs are wrong in length? Is it better to leave the "old" original springs?
Ive measured car height after installation and is 67 cm front, 67.5 cm rear.
(p.s. transport blockers were forgotten in shock apsorbers for 39.000km, so the car hitted bumps badly.)

don't worry about it, once they settle the car will sit level as opposed to the oem, reverse rake
 
Is oem sport chassis really reverse rake?
At the moment its:
Front: from the floor to fender: 67cm

Rear: from the floor to fender 67.5 cm

Any A3 owners here that could post their distance from the floor to fender?
