Ooh....I know the second answer. "LOTS" Big difference between the two shocks. TCs are twin tube gas shocks that are valved for stock spring rates. HD Bilsteins are monotube (theoretically better, but debateable) and more importantly, valved for higher spring rates.

I've got V-performance springs on my 142 and the TC shocks can not handle them. I've got HDs on the way.
