Eibach Pro Sport Springs. Recommended shocks?

[Erudite-Idiot]

Hey

So I have bagged a set of new Eibach Pro Sport springs for the car, and now i am trying to decide between B6 and B8 shocks to go with it.

It is a 2011 MSport 30i so the ride height is going to remain very similar I expect.
Question is, how much difference is there between the two?

I doubt i will ever push the limits of traction but equally I would prefer to avoid trips to the chiropractor

Oh and I presume most of the bushes will need replacing after 82k miles?
Obviously I will get Lemforder or Meyle HD top mounts for the front and decent bump stops and dust covers for the rears.

Anything else I should remember, aside of the labour costs to fit all of this?

B8 for msport or lowered springs

B6 for stock ride height

Ride height will drop a bit, can't remember how much it was when I put the springs on mine, but it looked like this...

Thanks for the replies.
I thought it would be the B8.
Tiglon, no issues with scraping the bottom, especially of that wonderful modern invention, the speed hump?

Not often, only on some of the really aggressive speed humps you get in some places. Just got to be aware and sensible.
