[QUOTE="anaksarawak, post: 649006, member: 4851"] Back to topic. From my findings, not all B4 or B6 or B8 has the same firmness. Do check the reference manual carefully not just from forums or Internet. My personal suggestions, if you prefer firmer / sportier ride but don't want to spent the extra hard earn cash for B6 go for one rate firmer ie go for 330 front and rear touring/convertible model. Unfortunately you can't find B4 for M series. Good luck and go to a reliable and monitor the installation personally. Professional alignment is a must after installation of new shocks. Reference What is the difference between Comfort(C), Heavy Duty(HD), Sport(SP), Touring (TC), Rallye, and 5100 settings? Comfort (C) and Touring (TC) - original equipment shocks that came with your vehicle - will provide the same ride that the vehicle had when it was new. Heavy Duty (HD) - MOST POPULAR CHOICE, Designed to work with your factory springs these will provide a firmer, more controlled ride in cars and a more stable ride in Trucks and SUV's. Sport - Designed for use with an aftermarket lowering spring (H&R, Eibach, etc.)* The Sport will be firm and actually made to work with a lowered aftermarket suspension (springs). Rallye shocks are specifically set to meet the rigorous demands of driving competition.* These items are not usually suited for street use. [/QUOTE]
