    No, they're B6's but unusually they're still monotube, so would be comparable, if not a little better than the twin tube Tein.

    I doubt the Tein will be a step backwards compare to this shocks...
    Compared to B6's, maybe, maybe not, I'd still personally take the B6 without question.
    Compared to B8's, no debate about it, the Tein would be a a MASSIVE step backwards in terms of performance...

    Nup, they're the B6.

    B8's to suit are $252 per shock front or rear.

    Sick of paying too much for high performance brake pads? Want high performance and cold bite with low rotor wear?

    I stand corrected. yes these are B6s
    PN for the B8s are BE5-A259, A260 & A261.

    seems like this upgrade is not really worth much, I think I will keep the Bilstein shocks and enjoy as much zoom zoom as I can on the track. Thanks guys..
