Hi,
I also found this kit very interesting. Litchfield is a UK based tuner and does not have a U.S. distributor. As M2C mentioned, you can purchase direct from them, however the Nitron kit is not currently on their "shop" section. I believe they are waiting for a few kits to come in soon.
Look at the very first link on this thread, I believe that is the only place the kit is described. Other than the difference in height capability, the additional suspension settings, and solid mounts for the rear shocks, I believe the spring rates and dampening is the same as the Bilstein kit, both are custom Litchfield spec.
Initially I had some problems communicating with them via e-mail, but we cleared that up using an alternate e-mall address. I mentioned I had ordered the Richland Forged wheels with an M2 specific offset. I wanted to make sure there would not be a clearance issue. They have only tested the kit with OE wheels, so I'm not certain about clearance. That may be a deal breaker for me.
I also inquired about VAT charges. The law changed this year, and I'm not clear if they have to charge VAT on exports, I don't believe they used to, which would be a nice bonus.
Looks like a great product.
