B6 is a sport model, B8 is a sprint model.

Both have tha same damping efficiency, however the B8 can cope better with a lowered vehicle.

B14 is an adjustable platform one

Thanks m8, So what would be best for a road going car. Spoke to a few people and some recommend the b6 and others the b8.

They are for a 2wd cossie if that helps

Any of them but the B14 would be best - or the B16 adjustable even better.

If you dont want adjustable platforms then both the B6 or B8 will be fine. If your thinking of lowering it by much then the B8 just edges it.
