The B8 is shorter. Apparently the stock strut is equivalent to a B4 and the B6 is a performance upgrade. The B8 is the same as the B6 but shorter to give the proper pre-loads when using lowering springs. In my case, with H&R lowering springs, the B6 shocks will not be loaded enough to give me the optimum performance.
