Im not 100% positive, but i think the bilstein sports go with the eibach sport lines, and the HD's work better with the pro kit, but then again i may have it backwards.

Bilstein only makes a HD strut. For shocks, the sport is 1" shorter then the HD for lowered cars.

Kandied swears by the HDs with Pro-Kits. I'm still trying to figure out if I should get those or the Koni reds.

Why not the Koni yellows?

Then in our cars we really have no choice but to go with the HD because they don't make sport struts only shocks...

True. Some places advertise Sport struts but they are the same p/n as HDs, and Bilstein only list them as HD.
