You'll be fine with B6s with lower springs, and you'll be better off with B6s with stock springs (more droop travel).

I have B8s with 1.25" lower Swift Spec-R springs. Had to compress the springs quite a bit to install. After the fact I learned that springs wouldn't have been loose if I'd gone with B6s. And reduced droop travel for short springs is literally the only difference between B8 and B6.
