Who told you that?


As far as I can tell from the Bilstein website the B6 shock can be used down to a maximum is 30mm drop in ride height over the OEM. The B8 are recommended for a drop of 30mm - 50mm over OEM.


Also, It appears the B6 and B8 shocks have the same valving and therefore it would be best to get the B6s and re-valve them for the spring you intend to fit - if required as they are designed for a moderate rate increase over OEM springs.


I quite fancy the RCE yellows with the B6 dampers, though the Koni dampers are adjustable which might be nice for road/track use and I have no idea what spring rates the compression damping is set for. I suspect a compromise between rock hard and OEM.
