Didn't you just pick up a set of Bilsteins? I don't actually have any experience with either but I take it the KYB GR2's would be more comparable to the Bilstein HD's than the Sports or somewhere in between.
In order, here is the ranking of sport vs. stock comparison
1. Bilstein SP
2. KYB
3. Bilstein HD (mostly used for vehicles that tow or light duty truck/SUV)
4. stock
i have personally tested out bilstein HD and kyb on stock springs and can say that the bilstein HD is stiffer than the KYB. the KYB's are pretty much stock replacements. they look almost identical just that they have silver paint.

I couldn't find much of a difference between the Bilstein HD and the KYB. The Bilstein SP was a much tighter ride and MUCH more fun!!

The HD felt firm but nowhere near performance. The KYB's I rode on were almost two years old but I "think" I could tell the difference from the HD's.
