Front shock absorber
#2
XKR comes with adjustable shocks (very expensive). XK8 Bilstien shocks cost about $115 each. Now technically, from what I've read, one could order an XK8 with CATs (adjustable shocks) but i don't think I've ever heard of it.
Do you have a wire sticking out of/attached to the top of your shock? No? Buy the $115 shocks.
Friend measure your ride height. You may need new upper shock spacers. Height shows this. Bottom edge of wheel well to center of wheel.
As I recall front should be 15.75 inches. Look it up and verify.

And the great debate begins.....glad you didn't mention oil. LOL ;^) I also used Bilsteins from RA and the URO tops. No trouble so far. Others haven't had such good luck. TM

Go for the Bilsteins from Rockauto, they have the best price and those are the OE shocks. For the shock mounts, contact member cjd777, he makes an upgrade poly unit that actually has stood the test of time. I have been the guinea pig who tested the first pair and they have held up very well to Puerto Rico's hellish roads. So far, I have had them for about 1 year and 5 months with 7,000 miles, and they have outlasted the Welsh mounts and the URO mounts.
