anyone use these? are they factory like ride? if you have them would you buy them again??

thanks geneo

 

never heard of that brand. If you want factory ride, get Monroe ahocks, they're as cheap as the factory ones were.

The factory shocks were Girling UK, El Cheapo. But they gave a soft ride which Jaguar customer base demanded.

 

Hi Geneo, I have them on my 73 Series 1 and have had them for probably about 8 years at this point. At the time I was on a serious budget so I took a chance on them. I only have them on the rear but they've held up just fine and were a damn sight better than the old, worn originals that were on the car when I bought it.

I drove that car all over creation BTW. From NJ to North Georgia and I live on a mountain now and have worked them over pretty good on the twisty mountain roads. They are no worse for wear. Not Bilsteins but good for the money.

The spring retaining system on the rears is very much like KYB's are - not like the originals with the 2 part locks - so you'll need a compressor that will fit the coils to install and not one that just has a hole at the top.
