VDP S/C Replacing adaptive shocks with XJR shocks
I just bought a 2001 VDP Supercharged ( beautiful car) with 78,000 miles and the suspension feels very floaty and worn out. The car has the electronic adaptive shocks that are very expensive to replace if needed, (not sure yet as there are no suspenison fault messages showing).
I would like to install the Bilsteins from the XJR to firm up the ride and was wondering if anyone has done this. Do you know if it would be necessary to trick the supsension computer to believe the adaptive shocks are still in place.
I have read many posts on the various supenision bushings that also likely need replacement and plan to change them out as well
thank you for any help

Hi all: I'm brand new to this forum though I'm on my thirteenth Jag. My current (of cousre I love it!) is the XJR 100. My question--and I hope this is the right place, apologies if not-- is it problematic in any way to replace the electronic shocks front with Bilstein gas adjusts? What will I lose out on if I do--cornering, smoothness, response, anything? Eastern Seaboard potholes are killing my front end!
Many thanks in advance;
