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
Yes Bilstein inserts for Boge legs.
I don't really want to get mine rebuilt - I don't want the car off the road for that long right now.

I agree with those part numbers and re/comp values, but the supplier I am looking at here describes them as:
34-001158 225/112 = 'Street Sport' (not listed for my year)
34-001165 212/164 = 'Club Sport'
34-001141 148/108 = 'Std Sport'
