Default ALK Comfort vs. Sport

I have a WL ALK comfort sitting in my room, but I'm thinking that maybe I should go with sport. What would the differences in performance and NVH would be between the two? Would it be worth getting the sport version instead? Thanks in advance.

Honestly they aren't a whole lot different. The comfort will be a bit quieter than the sport over expansion joints and such but the sport isn't bad at all. The difference in handling isn't huge. The harder bushings in the sport will hold control arm geometry a bit better under hard cornering but you will get the same amount of caster and elimination of anti-lift/dive geometry. You can't really go wrong with either, but if you will be tracking your car a fair amount the sport might be the better choice.
