Default Sport suspension or regular rate suspension?

I have 2002 1.8T NB and it may be time to change out my shocks. What do I have in a 2002 GLX 1.8T? Are they sport or standard? I'm getting confusing info from parts websites. Most refer to them being sport suspension. At what point do stock springs begin to sag? My car is at 202,000km, it feels awful now. Am I feeling the springs or struts failing? I'd prefer not to lower the car and stick with stock stuff.

your feeling the shocks/struts wearing out. get a set of Bilsteins sport/touring to replace them if you dont want to lower the height of your car
