I bought them on eBay, I think it was about $500 for the set? Don't quote me on that, I'll find out tonight.

Tim,

Bought a couple of fully adjustable rears from Outlaw speed shop (normally the priciest place in town) for sub $200 from memory.

Tim, I love it! Can't wait to see my gear go in and for you to bring it up to Adelaide (especially for all torana day ;))

Yeah, hopefully the rest of my suspension gear rocks up this week, and I'll endeavour to get the front end rebuilt and in with your old motor and box next week...

Fingers crossed for ATD :)
