Bilstein HD Shock leaking - 1995 E320

My front right shock is leaking after about 5 years with my what was once a new set-up of Eibach ProKit springs and the Bilstein HD shocks. I wasn't going to do anything about it, but I noticed that my car is actually sitting at least a half-inch lower on the side with the bad shock. I am thinking about getting all four Bilstein Sports and getting rid of all of the Bilstein HD shocks.

3 Questions:
1. Do you think it is a good idea?

2. Do you think the entire car will drop a half-inch with the change?

3. What do you think of eShocks, since my Indy wasn’t able to source the shocks from his normal supplier?

I could also just get 2 new HD shocks for the front, but it seemed like a good opportunity to try the Sports.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
