Arnott and Blackdog are two, will post the other name on Monday.
I exchanged the front ones on mine for the Arnotts modified air shocks and have been thrilled with the results. They do not seem to be effected by cold weather like the original Jaguar ones. I have also found that with a change to springs over shocks you lose some of the good characteristics of the air shocks and the saving amount to only pennies. Assuming of course that you purchase from somebody like Arnotts. Prices from Jaguar are just out of this world.
