Do you have some more specs and pics on those 46mm billies?
Are you running the nissan s13/14 stuff or can you get away with running the longer bmw/audi/saab stuf? Did they go into the strut easily? Was it enough to sand down the paint on the insert or did you take a reamer to the strut tubes?
How much is the revalve work over in the uk?

@the op:
46mm bilsteins can be made to work awesomely. You have more pistons to select from, more valving options and less heat builup. The bigger shims will cause less hysterisis.
Stock 86 B6s are 36mm by the way

edit: neve mind, just saw that you probably have the usual Escort mk2 36s? I could make you something better ;-) but they are pretty good already.
I'm talking with the people from AST to see if I can get them to make some ae86 shocks to my specs, with their expertise, for a reasonable price. We did some for a mx5 that were so good that I now have to buy a miata. The 86 will get jelous if that is not remedied.
