Over the weekend I won some k sport ciolovers for my car (08 ms3) in a raffle. I looked on the k sport web page and it looks like they only offer it for a regular 3. Is there anyone running these that can give me feedback on quality and if they will fit my car? Thanks.

They will fit the valving is not the same so just crank the front and you will be fine. And for the quality think of bargain basement brand.

Translation: They are junk and rust super quickly.

From experience: Worst suspension I have ever put on a car. Shocks didn't last more than 10k miles and the entire system rusted to shit in a year.

I was trying to put it in a nice way but yeah they are pure junk.

I wasted so much money on those coilovers buying new shocks thinking that maybe I just had a bad set or drove my car too hard or something. I strongly advocate against people using them; however, if you keep your stock suspension around when the shocks inevitably go in 10000 miles, then if they were free you are only wasting the time to put them on and off the car.
