Bilstein HD, Bilstein Sport, or ?

92K miles on OEM struts. No leaks, but they are clearly not as effective as they should be.

I'd like to enhance the handling, firm up the ride a little, but not lose too much of the OEM comfort. Aftermarket options for Boxsters appear limited to Bilsteins (HD, Sport, PSS9) or race shocks (JRZ, Moton, H&R, etc.).

I think the Bilstein struts (HD or Sport) will be sufficient for my intended use, but I'm uncertain whether to go HD or Sport. Anyone have either of these on a Boxster or 996? Happy with 'em? Wish you had got something different? What and why?

Hello Lucky,

I am in the decision process of these two. The information that I received it that the only difference between the HD and the Sport Bilstein is that the Sport is made shorter to work with lowering springs.

The shocks have the same exact spec for rebound.
