Default Slp Bilstiens vs Bilstien HD's

Are these the same shock or are there differences in them? Im installing my BMR lowering springs and wondering if there is a difference, then which one to go with?

THEY ARE THE SAME SHOCKS

only difference is if your getting them from Stranoparts.com is he gets the SLP's in bulk and can sell them cheaper cause he gets the bulk rate.

but other than that they are the same shock according to him.

So the slightly firmer (~5%) valving in the rear of the SLP versions last year is no more? That is what Sam said in 2010...

They used to be different, but I think they DC'd the SLPs so they just rebadged the standard HDs for people who want the "SLP" originality factor

Most places you can get the SLP shocks cheap.

Plenty in stock, ready to ship. Same shocks are the HD's are (now, that used to be different). The fronts are the same as SLP's have always been, the rears are an HD valving that was new a few years ago.
