Default difference between Bilstein HD and Sport?

i used the search and got some answers sports is firmer but also read HD is firmer. so i want to see if i can get it cleared up here

From what i understand

- HD's is ment for Stock OE replacement and cost a little more then Sport. made for stock ride height.

- Sport is Stiffer then HD. Made to go with Lowering springs.

that is what i understand. AM I CORRECT OR NOT?????

i am planning to use it with UAS. i want the a stiff ride. if i am correct, i am going to go with Bilstein Sport.

thanks guys!

According to Bilstein:

SPORT (S)
For the performance-minded driver, Bilstein “Sport” shocks deliver absolute mastery of the road surface.
Designed to push a car’s suspension to it’s performance peak, these shocks are well suited for use with special springs, antisway
bars or other suspension upgrades.

HEAVY DUTY (HD)
For most vehicles including full-size sedans, SUVs and trucks. These shocks provide improved handling and stability without
sacrificing ride comfort. They offer super damping ability that makes them ideal for heavy hauling for occasional off-road use,while maintaining an exceptional “street” ride.


I guess the Sport version is stiffer?
