Front Bilstein HD or Sport

I have a 914 that I'm going to Autocross.

Bilstein shows the Sports version for the back only.
B46-0179

But they show the Heavy Duty and the Sport for the front.
P36-0112 and P36-0113

Does anyone have any experiance withe differance between the two.

And how about mixing HD front with Sport rears.

Thanks.

In auto cross, you won't even be able to tell the difference between the two. Honestly, if you've already got a sway bar up front and some Bilsteins in the rear, you won't be able to tell. Maybe if you had tons of track experience on both systems, you'd be able to tell. But the avaerage guy going out for club races can barely notice the differences, unless he's really good at getting the most out of his car, let alone a guy who's just getting into autocrossing his 914. And by the time you're that good, you'll have 5-lugged it and put a six in it. Then you'll want Koni's on the corners, and a 911 front end. So I guess what I'm saying is, get the sport, since they're the same color as the rears. After all, you wanna be fashionable when you're autocrossing.
