XJS rear shocks
I have to respectfully disagree. Bilsteins are far stiffer than the OEM shocks. Boge shocks are still available and they are the OEM ones. Also, I believe adjustable shocks are an excellent choice. Either Gaz or AVOs work well and you can adjust them to your exact preference.
They have damping adjustment which isn't ideally suited to the road but good enough:
On the rotary dial, 1 click from softest is...very soft, about the same as totally worn out OEM. You can easily bounce the rear of the car by pushing on the boot.
I have them set at 4-6 clicks from soft, which i'd say is slightly stiffer than OEM but quite comparable and still retains a nice ride. The adjustment range between 1-6 clicks makes quite a lot of difference.
They go all the way up to 20 clicks but anything over 8 or so is what i'd describe as extremely stiff and kindof pointless for road use.
