Which Bilsein shocks do I get?

Will be buying a set of Bilstein shocks for my car soon. I see two sets, with two slightly different prices. Can someone explain to me which one I should get and the differences between them?

Here's the first set, slightly cheaper, the HD ones:

Here's the second set, slightly more expensive:

Thanks for any help in advance.

The HD ones are cheaper. The non-HD ones are more expensive. I'm not sure what the difference is.

Thanks for the suggestions, but can anyone tell me why there are two different prices and names? Seems silly to buy the same thing for $20 more.

The HDs were your typical, stock replacement, off-the-shelf Bilsteins

The SLPs were supposedly designed to be used with lowering springs, in particular, the SLP/Eibach springs that were an option on the SLP cars

Since production stopped on the 4th gens, theyre essentially the same shock - go with whatever is cheaper
