If this helps anybody in the future....
I purchased a set of front Monroe shocks OE Spectrum.... Part # 39016
I shopped around at parts store and online and got mine at amazon with free shipping for $48.00 each to my house in Texas...about 4 day delivery.

I installed them myself and i think they work great and a nice comfort ride.
cheers

 

Cool, thanks for your posting this topic as well
I had mine replaced with Monroe as well (yellow color ) when I used to own my last and final Jaguar which was XJ40 ,riding comfort was fine as far as I remember

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jake. I have a pair of those for my 6 that are patiently waiting to be installed. It sure needs them!

 

I paid $45 for two front sensen shock. There more firm and only last 30-50k miles
