I trust you recognize that Bilstein Sports are for use with shortened springs, not stock springs. If you're retaining the stock springs, use Bilstein HD. The valving is the same.

Living in the frozen north (like me - Boston), you may want to think twice about Bilsteins. They provide great control of turn in, brake dive, etc, and are fine on smooth surfaces, but a 2" deep pothole or frost heave can be bone-jarring. If I had it to do over, I'd go for the more expensive Konis.
