My shocks are shot so I am looking at upgrades, with springs also, for this road only car. It's a 2000 with stock 18in wheels and I have no problem with a stiffer ride. I did a quick search and found that this is a popular choice:

F&R Bilstein HD shocks with stiffer and 1.25in lowered H&R springs.

A few questions:

1. Any other "better" options that I should think about?
2. Bilstein HD or Sport? They seem similarly priced, what is the difference?
3. Who has the best prices?
4. Anyone have a slightly used set lying around?

TIA, Mike
