Shocks

On a 95 vette I changed from the stock Bilsteins to KYB replacements and the ride was softer overall. Especially on large expansion joints.
Technically the shock is a device with a specification. OEMs perform and last as intended by the OEM engineers. High quality aftermarkets will generally have higher limits of temp (foaming), strength, and life span.
Sorry but I have no experience w/S-Type shocks

On the other hand, the car engineers wanted the car to ride and handle in a particular way. Sticking with stock retains these characteristics, which is a major part of a Jaguar. Also, the Bilsteins seem to last rather well, so again, why change?
Just to prove I have nothing against KYB, I'm refreshing the suspension on our FIAT Coupe and the shocks and springs we have chosen are from KYB.
