Looks like one to me. Why do you think it's not right? They are not as long as a standard one because of the way they are fitted to the car with drop links. You'll need to make up a spacer to get it to bolt up to the standard wishbone.

TT and S3 ARB are the same.

Use adjustable drop links and knock the centre out of your standard drop link bush, this will give you a spacer which is a perfect fit
