H&R rear air suspension lowering links

It's been a while since I've been here. Got rid of the E53 back in Feb for my Yukon Denali and have been busy modding that now. Not as well built or refined as the BMW, but far cheaper to buy parts for, and much much better at towing a trailer.

Anyway, when I'd had the X5 I'd installed the H&R lowering kit- front springs and adjustable links for the rear self leveling suspension. After I'd had 2 of the rear links fail from getting all gritty with winter salt spray I bought a pair of extra links to keep in my glovebox. Took some convincing to get H&R to sell them to me, they didn't want to sell them, just replace them one at a time under warranty. But ultimately they did. So I have a pair of these I never used. Any interest in them? No idea what to ask, but I paid $150 for the pair when I got them from H&R.

Any interest at $100?

Here's a couple

With the H&R front springs and these rear links, first two pics with 10mm spacers behind rear wheels. Last pic is with 25mm rear spacers, and the race car in the trailer.

Car is an '86 911 Carrera, fully caged race car. The second pic is the old open trailer I had, E53 pulled that just fine. The third pic is the enclosed trailer I got for the same 911, E53 struggled to pull that trailer on anything but flat highway.

This is the current setup that replaced the E53:
