Default Before I order shocks..

Well I want to lower my car and I dont feel like paying for an alignment twice, I will probably go no bolts in front and longer bolts in rear. Just before I pull the trigger do I go with bilstien sports or hd shocks, what is the difference between the two?

Thanks

Sports are more for the lowered car, HDs are a little softer. Go with the sports, I just changed out to them also after my cut bushings and longer bolts did not go with the Z51 shocks to well. I would keep something in the front when you lower, you may get a noise if there is not something between the a arm and spring.
