Front shocks suggestions

See PDF below page 16 . Notice the difference between the soft X300 Sovereign , Sport , and Vanden Plas and the 2 different and stiffer XJR and V12 shocks . Take notice as to whether the top shock bushing is commonly gap space loose ( I've read easy and cheap fix ) . If you want to rebuild the originals I have a file from Bilstein for the part numbers of the overhaul kit and rebuild instruction videos and you can recharge the shocks service air pressure ( 180 PSI ) at say a motorbike shop with their schrader valve . As to off brand shocks I have no recommendations other then from what I've heard Koni's are a miss match but that may be from getting the wrong hard / soft setup .

The Bilstein "HD" B6 models are for firmer handling like on the XJR, and the "touring" B4 versions are for everything else.

Agreed, and they really aren't that expensive anymore from somewhere like "Shock Warehouse".
