I'll gladly take a reasonable offer close to 50% of the cost of a full set - to include delivery, as I know he wont split a set, thats why I had to buy 4 
we've got a beam at the back so need / use for 2 units. he recommends gaz adjustable shocks to go with them.
the 2 I have can be used for front or rear

great kit nice bloke, he let me drive one of his cars to try it out. I fitted fast road kit which is softer than the rubbers, gets rid of the nodding dog effect. best to use lowered shocks if fitting to a lowered car or you will get a lot of banging at the back. no spring compressor need but fronts require top arm removal to fit.

how do these things cope when going over a pothole? do the springs stay where they should?

I fitted them to my daily drive, and I've just fitted them to my van. Think thats a pretty good recommendation. They're fine with potholes - I set the height on the rears by jacking it up so the radius arm was at full extension, then winding the hilo out to take up all the slack. Its pretty much the correct ride height then. The hilos in the kit are just the minispares ones, you can get them cheaper with tmf discount.

just found why i was worrying about the pothole
minispares springs.
but they are minispares not minitasic and they say they're intended fro race rather than street. so is there something different about the construction that means the minitastic ones are better over rougher terrain. i ask because my little village has a lot of potholes and i'll soon be driving to sheffield which seems to have worst maintained roads in the northern hemispheres so it will be bumpy.
