There is a discussion on Bilstein shocks down toward the bottom 
of this web page:

The part numbers for Bilstein Sport shocks for our UrS4/S6 cars: 
 P36-0369 front 
 B46-2066 rear 

Another thing worth mentioning, on Bilstein Sport shocks. The regular 
Bilstein Sport shocks now come with one snap ring groove for the snap 
ring that holds the spring seat on the rear shocks. These same rear 
shocks used to be provided with four snap ring grooves so you could 
set your own ride heigth. 

If you find the right supplier, these shocks can still be ordered with 
several snap ring grooves. The body of the rear shocks is thick enough 
that you can machine in new grooves yourself.

This is all covered, and more, in the above web page.
