So few posts, so much misinformation already.

No bilsteins dont have any "huge 52mm piston" apparently you're lost, some bilsteins do indeed use a 52MM OD
BODY but none use a 52mm PISTON, they use 36mm and 46mm

this is exactly what im looking for but in bilstein. ive even considered finding the body by itself and going the extra mile and having the inside coated and use moton or ohlins pistons and internal parts

Apparently you haven't done much research if any at all here and are just talking based off of the little information you have.
You wont likely be using any moton pistons here, even though I haven't found a specific diameter on them, I HIGHLY doubt they're the same as the bilstein, and the ohlins piston idea wont work for much up front as finding 36mm Ohlins pistons seems to be like finding hens teeth, and even if you could, you really wouldn't likely be able to gain much over bilsteins digressive, or the cob/rbt digressive 36mm piston, for the rears sure you can use some Ohlins, of course by the time you pay what ohlins wants for a pair of their 46mm pistons (what the Bilsteins you tried to say use 52mm pistons, actually use), you could have bought 2 Penskes, 2 different types of pistons, and a valving kit.
Also that JIC damper wont get you anything usable other than a threaded housing that matches up with nothing else dimensionally.
