Cannot say for sure, guess you need to check whether your car have 16mm or 20mm taper for ball joints.

I used these before: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Audi-A4-A6-VW...ht_1294wt_1056

And they suggest it fits all years 1994-2002. Te only thing is that the 1 of the top arms on each side in their kit does not fit for 8's but is A4,A6 and Passat fitment.

Not sure about your calipers mate they are deffo different than i have on mine but know they did change for FL. The handbrake quadrent is in a different place. See the sticky under brakes as i took photies of what i have on mine. You might have to take a wheel off and see what you have.
