I believe the Bilstein Sport is recommended if you have or are going to install a fiberglass rear spring. I read somewhere the Sport shocks are about 30% stiffer then the Bilstein Heavy Duty.
Unless they say Sport, they are likely the Heavy Duty.

VBP advertises some KYB "GR2" shocks for use with their fiberglass springs which they say are "custom made" for VBP. any body know anything about these? i must "assume" it's not just a gimmick as VBP has an excellent reputation.
