I have not. However the item for sale is simply a shock with no airbag. So unless you are able to put it inside a CATS airbag
it is of no use.

I have not seen any information on how to do such a replacement and would be interested to see such.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I understand that the CATS suspension and the airbag suspension are two different things, so you don't need airbags for CATS.
Although I also understand that some XJs (such as the earlier XJR) came with both, but the 2008/9 XF SV8 (or any XF for that matter) never had the airbag system.

Thanks for the replies

Am looking at the listing because they are a much cheaper option than UK sites even with shipping.

However, only worth getting if they are the correct ones

When changing shocks, is it better to replace all four and is it better to replace the springs?

Car is at 106,000

Garage said the rears had corrosion at the bottom but could last a while yet
