Just picked up a MINT -03 Sport! 54K miles Garage Queen Creampuff

Now I have, or have had all the blue x308 configurations

It needs rear shocks-Might anyone be able to give me the part # for the Bilsteins replacement shocks??

Currently in the stable:
2000 Mistral (medium blue) XJ8
2001 Sapphire (dark blue) Vanden Plas
2002 Blue Zircon (light blue) Oatmeal interior XJ8
2003 Blue zircon Black interior XJ Sport

2002 XJR sold several years ago

 

As an owner of a Zircon X308 it's nice to see another one, it's unusual to see two together! It's a very rare colour on this car and I've never seen another in the metal. I've seen one or two on ebay now and then but they are rare. I love the colour though, it really makes the car stand out.

 

I now have one with the charcoal interior and the oatmeal. My personal preference is the oatmeal, but the dark interior really makes the burl "PoP"

 

Another nice lookin' ride WD, congrats...
This one is for non adaptive suspension (Series I Sports)... MNC3540CA
This one is for comfort... MNC3540AA
Mounting bushings... MMD3565AA
Pair of Mounting bushings... MMD3565AAPR
I did notice that just putting the part # in brings up prices of like $250-300 ea. But if you put Bilstein in front of the part #, the price drops to around $125 ea

 

What would the ride difference be between sport and comfort?

 

Just what they say, Sport having a bit more rigidity and sureness and Comfort having a smoother more regal ride.

This is from the Bilstein site...
B6 - Comfort (C) Shocks & Struts
Bilstein B6 Comfort gas pressure shocks and struts are for the driver who wants maximum ride comfort, with the virtual elimination of "bottoming out" and vehicle sway. These shocks generally maintain and, in many cases, enhance a vehcile's original ride qualities while increasing road-handling and overall stability. (yellow paint, steel body)

B8 - Sport (SP) Shocks & Struts
Bilstein B8 Sport monotube shocks and struts deliver absolute mastery of the road surface for the performance-minded driver. Designed to push a car's suspension to its performance peak, these shocks are specifically suited for use with special lowering springs in combination with anti-sway bars or other suspension upgrades.
