Cyrus / Sal, also sells these parts. As the guys have mentioned, you'd have to get a couple of standard front struts to put the front damper inserts in before you can get them on the car.
With the current price of edc units from the dealers at neigh on £800 a pop, I think the altenative route will be a solution seen on a few 3.8s.
My fronts are standard, but the rears have been replaced with Koni/H&R combo.

I like the ride, but I get the occasional rub on the rear nearside - which may be soon resolved with a small (1cm) spring mount or top mount addition.

Whether or not you should delete EDC has been beaten to ***** here. Do a search for 500.000 threads.

Wout
IIRC, Dinan actually offered you two options for struts, Koni or Bilstein.
