I am ready to pull the trigger on my set of H and R Lowering spings for my 09 base suspension Z'ed

The part number that come s up as the only spring set available from H and R for my Z , again base suspension is H and R part #- 28987-1

However I also found the below H and R comparison charts

is the part # 28987-1 considered the Sport Springs? as this is the option I would prefer?

Has anyone installed theses.
I can easily rent the spring compresser for the front.
Are any special tools required?
