I think I if i remember correctly the fella in Portlaoise Springs did them for about €75 each. So if €100 for a set is not bad! Just make sure they are MK2 and not MK3 as the pin that places the axle is slightly further forward by about 1 1/2 inches on the mk3 ones. I've got a set of mk3s on mine and it does make the front wheels look a little strange but they work none the less if you adjust the steering.
Edit: I'm talking about front springs Btw. Haven't a clue about the rears!

I have but I haven't a clue how I'd go about it! ;D I'd drive the old pin out, drill a hole in the right place, and knock the pin back in. The pin won't go anywhere one it's in.
If the pin wouldn't come out, I'd grind it off, and bodge a new pin.
If the pin's a bit loose, drivel a centre punch into it's sides a few times.
Except that I'd have a blacksmith hammer a curve into the old springs.
Muttley's probably got a better way if you ask him,
