Default I think the HD internals are the same as the sport, but I could be wrong.
If you're going to lower get the Sports.

Default So which is better if one was to replace a B4q with sport springs? The sports...
...do sit a bit lower than non-sport B4s...?

Default IMO, based on what I've read here, HD's with OEM Sport springs
The OE Sport package is only 20mm lower; if you're lowering with aftermarket springs, then go with the Bilstein sports.
