Default What Bilsteins do you recommend for high HP F.I? Sport or HD?

I see many people are running the Bilstein Sport shocks. There is also an HD option. Which one would you guys recommend for street driving? I want the one that will have the least effect on traction during highway roll ons

Thanks!

Everyone that says so is uninformed. As long as your competing against them, let them think that.

With what you are looking at here out of the two go with the sport. Yes I have had both and like the sport better.
