Default 2001 A4 quattro 1.8 auto - rear springs

I need to find a set of rear springs (one broken).
How can I tell if I have the sport or normal suspension?
Would the 'built sheet' in the trunk tell me? If so, which are the codes I need to look for?
Other identifying marks on the springs or shocks?

One I identified sport or normal: what 'donor' cars (years, models, engines, etc.) could be used?

Sport suspension shocks are red. That's how you can tell visually.

Built sticker:
Is it true that
1BA = stock ?
1BE = sport ?
