Two problems though with kits like that, they are cheap for a reason. First, hate to disagree with Danny, but Pro-Comps are about the worst shock you can install on a Rover and add to that a set of non-rated coil springs, that may or may not work for your needs and you get a cheap price kit.
I am a member of 2 of the larger Rover clubs in West and can't even remember anyone who has a set of Pro-comps that they are happy about, they just don't work when really wanting some off road performance. So much for my 2 cents worth.

Well final price from them I got this morning was $489.15 apparently even though it was showing dollar signs on my inquiry that she sent it was still in British pounds. So that is where it leaves me when the currency is converted to American dollars takes about $1.61 to make a pound. This is still way less than I can get any lift on this side of the ocean and Britpart is the spring manufacture for pretty much every spring they sell regardless of what shocks are included with it.

I got my kit Terrafirma HD kit from Lucky 8 was $570 before shipping, the D1 kit is $588. I think Underground Rovers has them for the same price or cheaper. So not that much more and you will get it in half the time.

Yeah I am beginning to realize it first sounded like a good idea but now not so much. Talked to a couple people this morning on spring rates and what was actually in stock. Waiting to hear back from a few of them looks like the new plan is a full on Terrafirma 2" HD all the way around setup, +2 Terra Sport shocks probably be somewhere around $560 but will at least have Underground to stand behind it should anything happen or need replacement parts. Should look nice setting on the 235/85's in my garage

hilltoppersx, What spring rate fronts are you running? 220-230 are medium and I wanted something a little stiffer than that so I opted to go with Heavy on the front as well

I am pretty sure the lifts on ebay are from Underground and the medium 2" shows out of stock on the website. Here is a pic of the Discovery that I bought for this build
