Depends on the spring you put on it. The B8's are for lowering springs but like the RCE yellows, which aren't much stiffer than stock still lower the car 3/4 in. But RCE Tarmacs wouldn't be for the faint of heart.

The *good* aftermarket options are more expensive than an OEM seat, even taking that into consideration anyhow. |

But basically I think options out there like the Bilstein shocks/springs or coilsovers that are cheaper then OEM but still better/cheaper. I know the TRD sportivo is $1000ish and it should be more performance oriented. Then again those spring rates they went with are strange |

Ask a HPDE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR if you should get K Sports, I'll bet he's ridden in more high hp cars than you can think of and can drive them with one hand so he'll know his shit. Being at the track does not make you an expert, it makes you a dedicated enthusiast.

I believe it's because Bilstein recommends the B8's as a stock replacement (perhaps with stock spring). And the B6's are aimed at lowered cars, which would be the case if you went with aftermarket springs (Eibach, Swift, RaceComp).

The valving on both is apparently the same, which is a disappointment.
The difference is the B8 has less droop travel, which is not desirable. Not a big deal, but there is no advantage to that. The B8 "probably" has a shorter internal bumpstop for the fronts, which is nice. In the end for a mild drop spring like our RCE Yellows the B6 is probably the better fit. For a spring that's a little lower and softer up front, the B8 might work better. - Andy |
