My understanding is that the B4's are an OE replacement. Maybe not exactly like stock, but close enough as far as valving. The B6's used to be called HD and B8's used to be called Sport are supposed to be valved identically - the difference is that the B8's are meant to be used with lowering springs and have less suspension travel.
So if you're not going to lower the car or you're going to lower conservatively it makes more sense to go with the B6's as they will ride better due to the extra suspension travel. If you're going to lower much, you'll probably want the B8's. My Build Thread. Why not just go with a Bilstein kit that has some matched mild lowering springs with it?
