Search is your friend on this subject - you'll find that there are diff bilsteins that will work, and what results members have gotten choosing the 'model line' of shocks that they did. Results have been iffy in the HD line, for example, some say it made the ride harsher.

good luck.

I have the HDs are they are pretty jarring. On a smooth road with corners, they are perfect. On hacked up city streets they are a bit obnoxious. So it depends on your driving conditions...
