does that mean that the shocks for both are non-plug and play?2002 A3 8L

Checkout S2central.net sometime for some of this platform coding stuff explained. There is a good wiki on it somewhere else to...
'Typ89' is a much maligned term - as it was first in the series of B3 platform vehicles it was used loosely for all of them. There are actually 89,8A,8B and 8G model codes for the B3 platform.
S2 Coupe = 8B (from B3 family)
S2 Avant or Saloon = 8C (from B4 family as of 1992 onwards)
RS2 Avant = 8C derived but technically 'P1' due to Porker involvement
Older 80/90 saloons carry the 89 and 8A model codes as these come from B3 platform as of 1987 onwards
And from a running gear perspective... The B3 quattro suspension is an improved version of the B2 - as found on UR quattro - using struts all round.
B4 quattro introduced dual wishbone at the rear end with a design that has been essentially unchanged on the A4 models from its inception from B5 platform thru to modern day - including RS4 which granted as stiffer bushes and roll bar but it's roots are in the humble 1992 Audi 80 quattro.Paul Nugent
