Optional Bilstein Vs. Bilstein HD What is the difference between the two shockS? Which is better? which will lower the car more just basic questions. If any one has experience with either shock please advise me. Any information will be appreciated.
Shocks do not lower the car, that is done by the springs. There are some differences in the valving of the shocks. As I remember, the oem/SLP version has more rebound, but less compression and of course the HD's are the reverse of that. But I don't have the specifics. What are you doing with the car? (track, autocross, driver, drag strip, etc).

On the other hand, I like the lower bump rate, it makes the ride a little better, and keeps the wheels from skipping.
