Bilstein HD or Sport Shocks
I'm planning to lower my car with Eibach Pro-Kit and Bilstein shocks. The question is to use the HD or Sport Bilstein's? The Bilstein website recommends the Sports for lowered car applications and HD for non-lowered cars. Is this correct? Anyone have Bilstein's on their cars that can help?

Thanks for the help. I'll post picks once I get the car back in a couple weeks. Unfortunately I was rear ended on I-5, so I'm going to get this done while everything else is being repaired. Still bumbed out about the incident.

Can't find Eibach springs anywhere. Might have to go with H&R but I've heard doubts/issues from some posts.

BTW...how much should installation cost for 4 springs/shocks? My guy found H&R/Bilstein in SF and they wanted $875 w/ overnight shipping.

I paid 415 cash no tax for my springs and shocks to be installed with alignment. It was like 370 without the alignment from a local discount tire rack shop and I know the dude...
