Does Boge offer an appropriate insert for these car to go with sport 
springs?

I thought the stock Sport setup was very good, IMO.  Of course it really
depends on your driving style, if you track the car ( I did not), and
just plain personal preference.

I would try and get some sport springs if you want a sportier ride if
not, you CAN get struts for the non-sport suspension though so that is a
complete line or junk. On my a4 I had the sport springs and installed
Bilstein Sport dampers. Much better ride quality and handling over the
OEM sport setup IMO. Then again it was probably because the 90k mile
shocks were at the end of their life.
