Red does denote sport shocks. Fronts should be the same. Unfortunately there aren't any aftermarket direct replacements for the sports ones, only the standard models which will lift a sport a few cm. If its just a matter of cosmetics (and they last well over 100K in terms of damping) get the originals media blasted, paint with red oxide primer and satin clearcoat and they usually come out looking original.

I've found Bilstein B6 are really only suitable for 20" wheels. They're too hard for 18s and just make the car bouncy and unpleasant, and very expensive.
