I believe I read the ST's are pretty darn comfortable and mainly for DD; and perhaps too soft for track. The B14 from what I've read are comfortable too; but I think they are a little more aggressive, firmer spring rates and valving and also inverted front struts..which to me sounds much better for the track than the ST.

B14 will hold up to corrosion better than the ST. Triple C coated by bilstein vs galvanized steel from ST.

B14's with HVT camber plates!!! Best bang for the buck at $1400.
