I've got the B2's as well. I had 4 up front and 3 in the rear until I went to the drag strip sunday. Dropped it to 1 in the rear and I think it helped with the launch a lot. So unless you're taking serious corners, you might want it softer in the rear.
Do you hear any air escaping like a puff of air noise when you go over some bumps from the rear section? A friend of mine has the B6's and he hears it too. Almost like what a blown shock would sound like but they're practically brand new! I can only hear it from the back ones, too much engine noise to hear the fronts.

Scratch, I believe you received the Function B6. Please make sure you lower the vehicle from the lower shock bracket, rather than dropping the spring. THis is the inherent difference between the B2 and B6.
