Assume this is eBays global shipping programme?

My limited experience of this is all negative. Is there not a seller willing to send directly to you?

I used an old US acquaintance to take local delivery and then forward an item to me.

Would be easier to purchase something like the Bilstein B6 kit which will come with all 4 corners. Another alternative would be say the Eibach spring kit and then purchase the OE dampers from somewhere and the required OE components.

I've fitted a few KW V3 kits so really depends on budget.

I'd try and purchase from here. Quick google and this is maybe a possibility:

Does state 3.0d but tbh they are all compatible.
