Originally, it was the valving of the shock. SLP had Bilstein change the valving slightly from their 'regular' HD shock; of late, though, the HD shock has been valved the same as the SLP one, IIRC.

BTW, I've got a set I pulled off my Formula, if you want them. PM me for details.

The SLP Bilstiens are revalved for their springs. A bit soft, IMO..
