I personally love my Koni's. I have only good things to say about those.

But to be honoust i'd go with the stock dampers if you can get them.

German yellows : MNA2140BA
These supposed to be a bit "firmer" then green ones

Green ones : MNA2140AC for sport/XJR

Black/blue for sport : MMD2140CC

Black normal comfort : MMD2140AC

Not only the comfort, but also the price haha

When you buy new ones, be sure to have them include the new bushings.
Bushings: MMD2144AA

Difficult to beat OEM for comfort. Quality (ie OEM) bushing vital too.

i would get your current ones rebuilt. just got to find the right person to do it.
I am lucky - in NZ we have a guy who was factory-trained at Bilstein Germany

... and if you like the wafting Jag ride, use proper orange Jag bushes, not polyurethane - the ride will get firmer - fine if you want "sport' , but the ride will get harsher
