The B8's are the Sport shocks. The part numbers are F4-BE5-2977-H1 (front) and F4-BE5-2978-H1 (rear). They are recommended to match up with the FE3 suspension. The B6's are the HD's and are recommended for the standard suspension. The part numbers are F4-BE5-2975-H1 (front) and F4-BE5-2976-H1 (rear)

THat's good information, I am glad to see it.

Because my lowered car came with these shocks, I have been seeking info about them, aside from the factory specs. I think the new parts numbers will be helpful in this market.

From posts here I think some bought the sport shock, because they have a sports car, when they should have selected the heavy duty, and are then unhappy.

You are correct. If you consider ride The OEM shocks would be the softer ride. The HD's are somewhat firmer than factory and and finally the Sports have the stiffest ride of all.

Selling as a set. Not splitting them up.
