Default need advice on front struts?

my front shocks are pretty much done for the right one is knocking pretty hard. i was wondering if Bilstein shocks are a good choice, my car is already lowered with h&r springs will these shocks fit? How hard is the install I'm pretty good with a wrench but never done shocks before?

these are the shocks I'm looking at

bilstein hd sport shocks are awesome...i have been running them for about a year now with neuspeed race springs...they are designed for lowering springs and will hold up much better than stock....

I got mine from mjmautohaus.com...
