Not the complete system is available unless used.
It's going to be a part-by-part situation unless you are going to pay someone to put a set together for you.
SNG Barrett will have most of the parts but even with our 10% discount as members of this Forum may not be the most economical.
Most have found that Rockauto will give you the best price on the shocks, springs are all over the place, but the German ones are very good and a fair price. Mounts are better now than ever from Forum members, and the bits and pieces that make up the bottom spring perch are mostly at SNG.
Now, you have to get someone to put it all together, runs from $75 to $100.
A lot of searching can save you money but the shipping from different places cuts into what you are saving.
So not using some of the parts you already have, I would think $500 a side all new plus shipping to someone that would take on the task of getting it all together for you. That might be on the low side by the way.

Thanx for the reply. I was hoping to get the assembly to save time. I’m new to the XK8. Looks like a new learning process.

the only way I have found a complete assembly is with custom made coil-overs starting around $1300 for Ceika or $4000 for Nitron (complete set front/rear)
