The only difference between B6 & B8 is reduced travel and increased price. There's not much downside to B6's. Valving is stronger than stock, but it's not harsh. I got B6 for my TRD springs (also very similar to Eibach) with crash bolts for camber. It's a great bang-for-your-buck setup for daily and autocross.

If you've done shocks/springs before, there's nothing too tricky about the install. Instructions and hardware was included, but there's not much to either. The DIYs on this site are excellent, and the only trick was to make sure your e-brake was disengaged before installation. It prevents the rear suspension from fully extending.
