has anyone tried these dual range kits?

seems like $1400 isn't terrible for the conversion.

 

or any of their other products?

the gearbox "upgrades" are just putting subaru parts in other transmissions.The first link is to convert a USDM transmission to an European dual range transmission using the various parts from the dual range.The second one is adding the 1.6 low range from the 80's subarus to the newer EJ DR boxes.

Any good sources for an EJ dual range trans or know someone who will convert one to the 1.6 low range for cheaper?

Negative but there are a few stateside members with EJ dual range boxes maybe they will chip in.

This is the factory low range selector used for the S series RV in Australia.
