one more shock/strut question my right front strut is leaking....badly.
I searched and I know everyone says Koni...this car is daily driven and I really don't do much with it other than 3-4 autocross events a year.
YOU MUST PICK BETWEEN THESE TWO THAT I HAVE LISTED!
1. standard Bilstein HDs 349 shipped
2. WS6 store.com's SLP Bilsteins for $408 shipped
what's the big difference here? I am 95% sure I won't ever lower my car. Which ones do I buy....I need to order them soon, as the car rides like crap now and I don't want to damage anything else, so I gotta fix this quick.
Thanks in advance!

Can't honestly say either is right. That set of Hd's you are looking at have some messed up rear valvings. The SLP's are valved for SLP springs, not ideally for stock springs.
I sell a set of HD's for $349 (not shipped, figure $375 worst case), but I use a valving in the rear shock that isn't completely messed up and DeCarbon like. That's right, Bilstein for some amazing reason saw fit to take a very workable damper for stock springs in a lot of cases, throw away it's specs and build a shock much more like a stock DeCarbon. I will NOT use that shock. When I sell HD's, I use a older, better valving. Same price, better damper.
