For $900 you can almost get a ST V1 coilover set...
Ouch - Bilstein must be very proud of these! Maybe the price will come down if they don't sell OR they will prove to be very good and worth it. At $900 this almost 50% more than the regular B6 in the US (~$630). I think I would still pay it if they can be made significantly softer and more stiff than the std B6. Coupled with some EPK or std oem sport springs and you would have a nice streetable system.
