Which bilstein shocks?

HD front- S36-0201
rear- B46-1121

OR

Sport front- S36-0201
rear- B46-1021

I plan to lower the car with an eibach pro-kit and the bilstein website says to go with the sport package if you plan to user lowering springs, i just want to make sure this is the right set-up for the best performance.

thanks

HD's won't work? Hmm, news to me. I went with Eibach Pro-kit and Bilstein HD combo. I wanted a little less harsh ride than the Sport shocks. So what happens when they won't work? They fall off or something? j/k My setup works fine, but I guess I'll have to take it easy now. Thanks for the warning! Sorry, my sarcasm slipped out. Lon

So can i assume the sports are the stiffer shock? Meaning better performers? I really dont care about the harshness of the ride or anything, i mean if i wanted a smooth ride wouldnt be driving this car.
