Hello, as the headline says is there any difference between these two suspensions?
I accidentally ordered a standart B4 rear shocks absorbers on my M sport chassis(s704a). Thank you for any info.

The b4 is OEM replacement (none sport). B6 adds 30% damping force, over stock. B8 also has 30% more damping force but has a shorter damper for use with lowering springs. If you have sport suspension (w/ stock springs) I'd swap to the B6 struts. That's my understanding. I'm considering a full refresh with a Bilstein B14 kit which includes new springs. I'm just waiting for an online sale because I need a clutch and other s**t.

Left and right shock? That's my guess They look exactly the same.

yeah, they look same. in description you can see left for no sport right for sport. i don't know.

isn't there a height difference..?

My understanding is that yes, there is a difference between B4 sport and non-sport (which makes sense).

I mean having two different part #'s should mean there is something different..??

[Saylara]

i put them on car but can't tell diference because my old oem sachs was already dead.

there are indeed 2 versions of the B4, one is for original ride height, one is good sport suspension & lowering springs. difference is the shock length.
