Thanks for bringing more attention to the tS/STi options. It's great to have these available from the factory (albeit in Japan).

From the picture, it seems like Bilstein is carrying over most of the B6/B8 design. Since the STi springs have a 15mm drop, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the B8 piston shafts/tubes. Valving will be tuned for the STi spring rates (progressive and unknown).
There is probably a slight difference in the valving, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The STi system is $1700 and a comparable B8 + Swift/RCE combo is ~$1300. Both should be bulletproof and great for street driving and the occasional autox/hdpe.
