Number of places sell them.
Depends what it is you are after really as there are numerous companies and set ups available.

Plush automotive sell the complete kit, basic, or digital, and have an offer on this month for the paddle valve kit, which I have.

And the boot install (this is a bit extravagant for some, but can be added at a later date if you should want to. 2 compressors, 2x2 gallon tanks, and copper piping covered by a glass sheet.

Yep, each corner is controlled by one valve switch, Less reliant on the computers to do the work, and cheaper too.

Speak to Luke at Plush about some kits, and mention my name, may get you a deal. :happy2:
