Not for the older stuff here in America, we worked directly with them to get a program setup for
those cars.
There's a ton of work that has to be involved with each of these kits as they require modifying the stock housings. What is/was offered in their catalog was never availible here, and from talking to them it was a somewhat rare situation that they ever sold any over there as well.
The newer stuff is cookie cutter and very simple to do, any KW dealer can deal with it. For the older model Audi's we're the exclusive KW go-to due to the knowledge required and the legwork involved to get the kits together and correct.

Yes, a set of front strut housings is required, machined and a KW body is inserted.
The tie rod end also gets relocated a little or a lot depending on each customers request. The rears are a simple swap out.
