Which one equates to Hd, does that valving even exist? Sport is, I guess, Sportlich Strasse.
I've seen other suppliers listing a 'Standard' option.

I've also seen comments that the Club Sport option is a great road compromise - hence my asking for further input.

I don't have a lot of money to throw at this - I just want to refresh the dampers.
I am thinking that I need to pull one of the front inserts and check the part number to know what I really have in there.
The British Bilstein Catalog sure seems to be unnecessarily obtuse, multiple #s for the same purpose

If I understand you correctly you are looking for Bilstein insets for Boge struts? correct?

If so here are the relevant insert part # & stiffness, roughly CS, S, HD
part # setting
34-001158 225/112
34-001165 200/170
34-001141 150/110

Alternately have what's there rebuilt and while in there get digressive valving
