From what I've read B4's are similar to standard, B6 are uprated and B8 are similarly uprated but designed for lowered cars. Ideally I want uprated standard ride height. I've got a standard setup up, and also some nearly new standard springs so just need the dampers. |

Right then you pair. I'm happy to sell to Ben for £200 posted so long as I'm not going to be raped on the B6's. Will email Miles now and let you know whether this is a go or not. |

Well the B6's are about 40% more expensive than I'd be selling this lot for so will require a bit more thought. I may lower the beam to match next weekend and see if I get on with the lowered look. Sale is still a possibility though. |
