Suspension differences over the years, does it change?

Is there any difference in the suspension (other the valving and spring rates) over the years of Q5's?

Reason I ask, is that Bilstein makes replacement shocks for all of the models, but only shows their 'Pro Kit' to fit up to the 2012 models.

Anyone used these?

I have used Bilstein shocks in the past and they have always been a great setup, plus it keeps the whole German theme going here too
