I’ve just put Koni shocks on mine and they seem spot on.

Apologies, just noticed I’d replied to your other thread! :oops:

I’m in the same boat, I had a set of B16’s on my B5 which I though were fantastic- softest setting for road hardest for track, although I probably only adjusted them twice in the 4 years I had them so I reckon the B14’s are just fine for normal road use and an occasional blast on a track day and save a few ££

I have the B14s and it's too hard for me, I'd love some adjustment to soften it up.

My car is also set too low. I'm not sure if you can get near-stock height on b14s?

B16s all the way. I’ve had both and B14s are just too harsh for normal roads in this country. Spend a bit extra and you won’t regret!
