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)

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.
