Default Replacement front shock absorbers

Has anyone had any luck with finding replacement front shocks for a 2002 S8? Part number 4D0 413 031 CD (pale blue dot).

Are these Bilstein ones any good? https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bilstein/1043851

I think those are for PF and V6 with sports suspension. You could use them in FL and V8 as weight difference is only about 50kg for V8. If using FL spring seats the car will sit a bit lower or could use PF spring seats with them to retain ride height. I also have a unused pair of AQ and would let them go for considerably cheaper than eBay item
