So it appears there really is a 2004.5 ....

AlanL summed it up well.
A stiffer spring will not really improve steady-state cornering grip. In fact, if the road is less than perfect, a stiffer spring will be a detriment. Race cars have suspension for a reason--to soak up road imperfections.
Stiffer springs and dampers will make the car more able to respond to quick transitions though. If the car does not store a lot of energy in the springs (via brake dive and body roll, etc.) then it will not release it all when you don't want it to. That is really the only advantage to a stiffer spring/shock combo.
And, like Alan said, it would be pretty tough to out-engineer Audi. I think we can all rest assured that even if there are several different damper suppliers, they all meet very similar design requirements.

Allan and I had a similar experience in the mountain drive a few months back...
but that was because I put ***** to the wall in the corners and he laid off. :-D
It's ok, VIR will change that. ;-)

That it will...
I should have pricing for everything soon. Once I do you can decide what you want to get. I am getting pricing on the M3, Mag5, and Rallye 4 Harnesses. I will let you know.
