Guys,
which one will be best for a car lowered more than 2 inches? I cut the stock springs & dropped the car more than 2 inches, should I go with the heavy duty instead of the sport?

The sport's have a shortened shaft.
A MUST for cars lowered more than an inch.
How many coils did you cut off the original springs?

Sport it is...
I don't know how much they cut it but it's sure no gap between tires & fenders ;)

I too would go with sport. HD is for extra weight, not lowering the suspension.

Bilstein sport is called "sprint" in Europe, if I'm not wrong, They are with reinforced and short rod.

You are correct.
They are recommended by Bilstein, for vehicles lowered between 20 - 50 mm.
If you are lowered more than 50 mm, they will customize an even shorter shock for you. ;)
Bilstein B 6 = HD in North America, Sport in Europe.
Bilstein B 8 = Sport in N.A. & Sprint in Europe.
