New shocks - recomendations

Guys,
With 168,000 on my '99 xk8 I think it is time to replace the shocks and have the front end looked at for a rebuild. Any recommendations of shocks?
Thanks!

If you use the search you will find many threads to read. Most members have gone with the Bilsteins that were used by Jaguar.

+1 on the Bilsteins. With that mileage, replace the coil springs as well.
