Default Not absolutely sure but I think...

-HD can be used w/ the stock springs.
-Won't lower you
-Will give you a much improved ride.
-Not as stiff as the sports w/ aftermarket springs. Again no expert here but I love the Eibach /Bilstein sports combo & have heard the HD w/ stock springs are very comfy & better performing than stock. Guess it boils down to what you want.

Default Sports have a 22mm shorter shaft...>>

But otherwise it's been determined that valving is identical between the sports and the HD's. Either will work stock or lowered, but if you drop 1.5 inches or more, go with the sports...
