I think the photo illustrates well the difference between B4 and B6 - B6 damping rod is much larger diameter than B4.....

That is the difference between twintube and monotube. It is not the rod you see, but the damper itself. The actual rod is inside the lower cover.

My point is B6 grade [TT or MT] is superior than B4. By inspection, B6 damper rod is same similar as B16, which I believe MT type....

Yes, the one in the picture is monotube. But in the text, it says twintube or monotube for B6, as if they don't know.

If it's important to you know then, if you were considering Bilstein, I guess you can get MT or TT clarified by Bilstein before you part with any cash.

I would not buy twintube. I have had quite a few sets of monotube Bilstein dampers on my cars, but I don't think I will buy Bilstein now. I have heard too many stories about recent quality problems. They used to be very robust, but I have my doubts about the current products.
