the performance set i believe is for lowered cars
the hd set is for non lowered cars.

Hopefully somebody will correct me if im wrong.

Sport shocks are 1" shorter the HD. Struts only come in HD.

I got the Sport shocks for my Hotchkis springs.

does your car ride pretty good with the hotchkis springs and the bilsteins. Did you have any other shocks with the hotchkis b4 the blisteins. If so did they help alot?

I had KYBs. The Bilsteins are stiffer and much better
