the 60 dollar offer is pretty cheap and good if they work properly, for about 200-250 you can get your original ones taken out, ultrasonically cleaned, rebuilt, then flow tested.
Basically a new injector set.

I wouldn't get VL injectors cleaned when they are this old. They tend to leak from the bodies once they have been cleaned. I have ultrasonically cleaned many, many injectors in my time and the VL ones are always the ones that will tend to leak after time, if they are not already weeping from the bodies.
I will always try to quote for brand new injectors as I know they will be perfect and last for AGES and all with a warranty.
I get my new ones from powerflow injection in Ringwood, Melbourne. They are fairly well priced and are the upgraded green body injectors that have a revised body seal and will not have all the leakage problems that the originals have.

If you know someone who is a mechanic or in the auto repair industry they could get em trade price, its quite a big price difference from somewhere like repco.
