Springs, yes there are loads of variants all dependent on model and specification. You can't buy them from Audi any more unfortunately, although Tradition may have them in which case Prestige may be able to aqcuire them. To get the exact springs you need to know either the colour code from them, if the paint marks are still visible, or they can be looked up by VIN.
Sachs do make replacement springs for the comfort models, but those will lift a sport by quite a bit. Have a look at my General Vod thread for a comfort model ride height.
A reasonable compromise is the Eibach Pro-kit. These lower a comfort model by 25-30mm so end up about the same as a stock sport model. Mark (Moltuae) is running a set and seems happy with them. I think they do a set for the 2.8.
I'm not sure what's about in terms of stock-ish sport dampers. I tend to put Bilstein B6 on by choice, but they're a bit spendy.

OK so there's only 2 variants for shock absorbers pink & black but do they vary between different engine sizes and quattro and non quattro?
I did have a look at General Vod and it looks just about right, I really don't mind the look of raised reight height I just don't want to be scraping front bumper every time i go over a speed bump or into an NCP car park and want the stock comfy springs, I daily drive a Passat GTE and its ride too hard for me even on the comfort suspension setting
