HD or Sport shocks
I have a 99 C2 that needs shocks all around. The originals were HD shocks. I purchased front HD shocks but cannot find any for the rear, all are back ordered. Can I mix HD in front and Sport in the rear? Is there any difference other than a slower recovery rate for the Sport?

From what I have read, the only difference between the sport shocks and the HD is length. There are actually three - B4 (standard), B6 (Heavy-duty) and B8 (Sport).
The B8 is intended for cars that are lowered. If you put lowered springs on an HD shock, there might be a gap in the springs when the car is on the lift. Again, this is what I found doing the research. I have B8 shocks with normal springs from the PO, which isn't what I would do but it works fine.
