If new, then good-ish prices i would say, if secondhand, then they'd have to be in really good condition.....

Yes thats a good buy if it includes the shocks as well. OME is the best 'basic' lift kit about. I've had mine fitted for 5 years now and I'm still on the first set of shocks. No sag from the springs either.
Bit confused by 'rear castor correction arms'. I think you mean that they are 'kinked' to remove the stress on the chassis bushes due to the lift.
BTW, castor correction bushes are junk and you'll have to keep replacing them. I haven't got any castor correction on the front of my 2inch lifted Disco and while the steering is less than positive it isn't undriveable. Some people report different results. Personally I'd fit the lift kit and then see what you think when you drive it afterwards.
Search this forum for discussions about castor correction......there is more than one way to skin that particular cat :)

Indeed, castor correction can be done via bushes, QT type arms, or 'cranked' standard arms.... aka Bullfrog's!!
