B4 are 'OEM replacement' so looking at either B6, or B8. I'd hazard a guess at B6. B8s are too 'extreme' for most tastes. Certainly the comfort of an Omega gets lost somwhat if you go that far.  :)

I'd agree with B6s. I also think B8s need shorter springs.

New B4's are slightly softer then a worn set of OEM mv6 shocks so if you lower it on eibach springs i'd personally go for the B6's  :y
