No. But I recently fitted a set and they were manufactured in UK, I am living in Germany, so you should be able to get a set. The ones I fitted were manufactured by NK. Febi offer a set, I think they are the OEM manufacturer. As do Moog. Check fleabay there are plenty of UK sellers.

Are you going to install them yourself? There are plenty of DIY's on the net. The only important aspect of the whole job is loading the suspension before you tighten all the fasteners. It is a fairly straightforward job. HOWEVER, the pinch bolt is a right biatch to remove. Due to the upright being aluminium and the bolts steel it will be welded in tight. I used 2x cans of penetration blaster a BFO hammer and they still did not budge. Oh, the bolt head will shear. In the end I had to use an oxy acetylene torch to get them out.

Fleabay is the place for the kits. When I was comparing prices the UK site had NK, Moog and Febi's available.
