Hi:
HD will fit with regular springs. Sport are for use with shorter springs. The length is different.

Hi:
You'd better check with an expert. I just bought mine from Turner Motorsport and they were very informative and helpful. I assume your H and R springs are shorter than stock, so the Sports Bilsteins are the correct ones.

No, the valving is stiffer on the sports. HD's are generally marketed toward people who always have a lot of load in their car, or have a trailer attached. They're firmer, that's about it.
As far as I understand, there are 4 main shock classes (not including coilovers or race struts).
Comfort - pretty much an OE replacement
Touring Class - a slightly firmer strut
Heavy Duty - firmer yet, designed for added loads
Sport - stiffest street strut, designed for shorter springs
Not all applications have all 4 struts available to them.
