Default Sachs shocks for under $50.00 ?

I found the company Just Suspension online and there prices were the cheapest I had found so far for Sachs shocks. Is this company legit? I have read mixed reviews for them. Any forum members have any experience with them?

It would seem the Sachs Super Touring Shock Absorber may not be a monotubegas pressure design. The Sachs Advantage series does state they are twin andsingle tube gas pressurized designs. Which were you looking at? I have used KYB shocksin other cars and am planning on replacing my shocks on my 95 XJS 4.0.
Look on eBay

Scotlad, I just replaced my Jag original rear shocks with Boge. They seem fine to me. I ordered Monroe 39003 shocks from Just Suspension but they did not fit my 1996 XJS 4.0. I had to pay the return shipping cost of $18. Not too pleased that it took me about 3 weeks to get my refund after I returned the shocks.
There must be some difference between the 1995 and 1996 shock although all seem to think they are identical.
The upper bushing in the old shock had to be reused as the Boge did not have them. The mech that installed mine neglected to install the old bushings and had to do it over after I saw them in his junk pile.
Cheer, RagJag
