Hi all,

I just purchased a 2003 Super V8 with 81k miles. I plan on dailying the car for a while as I've just gotten tired of driving my Wrangler everyday.

The previous owner changed the shocks for the XJR bilsteins. Are the CATS shocks worth changing to or should I just keep the bilsteins?

I'm planning to do a host of fluid changes and get the car inspected. Is there anything I should look out for in particular?

Thanks again and I'm having a blast just driving the car. She cruises when you want to and she just goes when you want to have fun.

this is the black one with the touchscreen in the middle right?

the touring (comfort cats) shocks aren’t really worth finding and putting back together. you really can’t tell the difference between sport and normal, adding a rear sway bar is probably a better way to spend your time.
