Syncro rear shocks and coil springs

Hello all,
I'm so glad to see that VW Syncro owners aren't
treated as outcasts, or worse here.  My present
problem is finding rear shocks/struts and their
attendant bits and pieces.  Most needed are rear coil
springs as "Sassy's" rear end is sagging something
fierce.   Apparently Boge OEs are about all that is
available as far as shocks go but no one, and I mean
no one, has the coil springs.  Much less all the other
parts that are needed at the tops of these
contraptions.  Things like the bump stops, protective
boots, and all those other items shown (but not
named-@#&*%$!) in the Bentley manual.  I know the bump
stops are crumbling and who knows what else is worn
out(158K)but would like to acquire all needed parts
before embarking upon this journey.
  According to some, Bilsteins for an A1 Rabbit can be
utilized but, it entails some rigging that I'd rather
not do and would lower the car also.  I'd prefer stock
height and have a fellow Syncro owner who would love
to raise his, both front and rear, for the coming
winter. 
 Any and all info, leads, sources, wishes, whatever,
will be greatly appreciated!
So sorry to ramble on, but I love this car and would
really love to restore it to it's former glory-and
then I'll turbo the heck out of it!
Thanks so much for your time,
Gregory Smith
