Default both the sports and HDs are valved the same but the sports are shorter to use with shorter springs

Bought mine from shox.com a few years ago, not sure if there's anyone cheaper than them.

Default Keep in mind.

That if you go with Bilstein shocks with your factory springs, your ride height may increase a bit.

Bilstein's high pressure design acts as a second spring, which can cause the ride to sit a tad bit higher than before.

Bilstein HD's are recomended for factory ride heights.
