Here's what I was able to find in my recent search. I ordered a set of B6 last night, as they seem to have been tried and tested more by the Evolution community.

"When it comes to B6 vs B8 - the rule is simple again - for a car with factory fitted sports springs or aftermarket lowering springs - go for the B8 if it exists. This shorter unit will not only ensure positive spring location on droop but will reduce droop for better control of body roll. That said sometimes only a B6 unit is listed - these are fine for lowering 40mm but much more than this would require the damper to be shortened, which can be done before it is supplied if required."

In addition, on another forum I read that they are valved the same... the B8 is just more intended for a lowering spring whereas the B6 is simply more of a firmer OE replacement.
