no i meant a link to the sports on steve spohn's site, you said he sells them, but all i see are the HDs

i checked out shox.com and when i went to order, they have the HDs and the sports together, not each their separate thing to order. how do i know which i will get? i dont want to end up with the HDs.

The struts are HD. They dont make sports. For the shocks, the sports are 1" shorter then the HDs for lowered cars.

ok the springs determine the height, i get it.
so go to shox.com search for 1989 camaro and i want to order the bilsteins, only one bilstein option shows up. correct? hahahaha
im really sorry about all the stupid/redundant seeming questions but it says nonreturnable so i dont want to screw up

If your car is lowered, you want to buy HD struts and Sport shocks.

They make front AND rear sports. Go to BImmer Parts and click on the bilstein picture, enter your year, make and model and you will be presented with two options for shocks and struts. One is HD and the other is Sport.

Notice the part number is the same for HD and sport struts . HD and Sport struts are the same. Bilstein only makes 1 strut.
