1998 XJR rear shocks

[Zippyworld]

Greetings again,

It looks like I am parting with some more of the folding stuff by way of rear end shocks.

I am open to recommendations and also wondering who would have manufactured the original spec shocks. I checked out Bilstein and there is no listing for the car.

I am also thinking of replacing the springs whilst we are at it.....thoughts ?

Can anyone suggest where to get them from or what I should be buying ?

The car has upgrades on it but original spec will suffice.

Let me know what you think.

Bilstein UK should be able to rebuild your shocks to your spec. They have a service in Leistershire IIRC. Springs from Jaguar Classic Parts if they still have them?

Don't forget you'll have CATS adaptive shocks now, but anything aftermarket won't be.

OEM stuff from Britishcarparts.co.uk is one option.

Thanks for the response. I am thinking that Britishparts are favourite, they are usually competitive and I have always had the right bits from them.

David Manners are more competitive that BCP.

Gotta say having compared the prices the last recommendation (David Manners) is dearer than BCP and the Main Dealer too !

Thankyou for your input anyway

I'm surprised, maybe I need to check my comparisons next time
