Bilstein Club Sport Dampers

I am looking to refresh the 20+ year old Bilsteins dampers on my 1988 3.2 Coupe. My car runs std torsion bars, which I am not looking to change.
Now I fitted the current dampers myself and am relatively happy with the performance/comfort compromise. I can't find in my records exactly which spec of front damper is fitted though, but I know the rears are 'fast road'. I have a vague recollection of being advised to go with a 'softer' option on the front, but unless I pull the damper insert (I have Boge legs) I can't find the part number.

I'm looking at replacing front & rear with the current 'Club Sport' option that Bilstein offers.

Question is - is anybody running these dampers on a stock 3.2 that can give me their thoughts on the performance/comfort compromise?

I'm in the UK so our road conditions are somewhat different than the US though!

Pic of my car for interest.
