It says ask them for shipping rates.

Don't forget to budget 10% on top of the whole price you pay for duty, then 20% on top of the new total to include VAT. So if shipping is £75, it will cost approx £350 shipped. => £385 with duty => £462 with VAT. Plus a few quid handling charge for the courier too.

thats quite a jump from the asking price which then raises the question of whether its worth it. might be better with the higher profile tyres, VR4 shocks and tein springs

Those are feckin awesome coilovers. The best by Farrrrrrrrrrrr I have ever had on a VR4.
Beware though. These are specced to a 1.8 gdi viento. But they are way to hard for it and makes the car bounce everywhere like those slammed corsa's and saxo's you see bouncing around town.
On a VR4 they are still very, very firm, but the extra weight makes them better suited to the VR4.
How they will be on a V6 I'm not sure, but I think they may be to stiff. But that maybe what your after ?

i want to lower and improve handling but i cant lower by too much. standard suspension only allows 20mm which isnt much good. going from 215/35/18 to 225/40/18 would allow a little more leeway and putting VR4 shocks will hopefully give me the 30mm i need to fit tein springs. if not i will have to bridge the gutter outside my drive which is the lowest point where the road slopes down to the dropped kerb which also slopes down in the opposite direction

225/35/18 will give you less than 4 mm extra wheel radius. Going to 225/40/18 will give you 15mm extra, will fill the arches better, will give you a more accurate speedo reading and will probably help slightly with the ride.
