XJR-s 6.0 Rear Dampers

[biglump]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I need to get my hands a set of 4 rear shocks for my pre-face-lift XJR-s. I believe the shocks are specific to this model? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks.

They were fitted with Bilsteins ( spelling ) yellow in colour with blue writing. Have aook on the JEC website, maybe see what the racing boys use/recommend.

They're the ones...Ok...will ask over there...Thanks

GAZ are an option too, but can unsettle the ride.

If you could post back and let us know how you get on that would be great - it's been niggling in my mind for a while how I'd go about replacing worn suspension parts, since like you say they were specific to the car (unless anyone knows differently?). I needed a front spring last year, and got super lucky - I asked a similar question to yours about the best place to source one, and an hour later someone PMed me saying he had a spare to sell! I doubt I'll be so lucky next time!

Best of luck finding a replacement!

if you cannot find brand new items. apparently Bilstein will refurbish/ re-core your existing dampers, and make them as good as new.
not had it done myself, but certainly worth a go in the absence of a new part?

I will let you know how I get on. I'm gouing to spend some time next week doing some research, getting prices etc. I know I can get Bilsteins, but at silly money....I'll keep you posted

You May want to try KWE. I understand that they have upgrades manufactured that still retain the ride but with better handling....
