Really puts it into perspective how much better the B13 rears are.

And yeah, these puppies will look AND work great.

They are quite the antithesis when it comes to rally setups, hah!

You mean 50mm OD Inverted tube with a 46mm working piston? I didn't think that Bilstein made a 50mm piston ? DMS makes 50mm shocks to suit track/rally http://www.dmshocks.com/Products/tabid/445/language/en-AU/Default.aspx

What spring rates are they valved for ?

I think you missed it. There is a tab labeled "Catalogue" that has the application listed on there. No years, but it does have chassis codes...

twice as much as what?

i'm looking at getting koni yellows B15 ext adjustable struts for the four B13 "front" strut housings that I have in my closet full of car parts.... I still need to shorten them though.. I'm looking to pair them of course with my Hypercoils..

what would you expect those to cost?

I think DMS struts are into the multiple $x,000.00 range. Kick ass products, however. I'd love to get a Turbo Forester with those on them!

I didn't say they were cheaper or better, i was just linking to another product that has a similar purpose as rally suspension for our cars isn't a common thing, let alone *quality* suspension. You never mentioned a price point for the ones you had made either, and cost comparison wasn't the reason for my post. Please don't take it the wrong way, i think its awesome that you've been able to put together a package like that which is servicable with off the shelf parts and made with quality & common damper components.

I hear you. This setup sits right on the blinker at $2k USD.
