Default 2008 XK Coupe Rear Shocks?
I have the NON supercharged version, which British Parts Place on Ebay says takes a different shock than the XKR application. They want $896.00 for a pair of rear shocks! Does anyone have a better source/part number? I am getting CATS Fault with codes for Right Rear Solenoid Damper, and there is oil leaking out the top of the shock. Here is what they show for the supercharged XK:

NEW Rear Shocks PAIR 07-10 Jaguar XKR SUPERCHARGED With CATS Suspension C2P3142 | eBay

Anyone have first-hand experience with this part in a base XK150? Thanks.

Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - KONI Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com
It says nothing about being electronic for our CAT system, think they are just regular shocks?

I will update here when I get them on the car, as well as the procedure...might be helpful as it seems to be a common problem. I'm doing the job myself.

If you click on the description:


Bilstein B4 OE Replacement (DampTronic) Shock Absorber Jaguar XK Rear 20-114428

 Bilstein B4 ACD shock absorbers are direct OE replacements for the electronically adjustable dampers found on certain Jaguar models. Bilstein B4 gas pressure shocks and struts are specifically engineered to be the best choice for maintaining the original ride quality of your vehicle, while meeting or exceeding OE standards. These dampers are the ideal choice for the driver looking to restore the original performance and handling of their vehicle, with the added benefit of world-famous Bilstein quality.
Lower Mount Type - Eye 14.1mm
Upper Mount Type - Stem
Boot Included - No
Finish - Black Paint
Internal Design - Monotube

I believe they are the correct shock.

Check with Tberg. I seem to remember that he found a very inexpensive source for XKR shocks.

XK and XKR shocks are different, except apparently for 2010 and 2011, where they seem to use the same shocks.
tberg, and others, have found the guy on ebay, selling the ‘green’ XKR shocks for cheap.
He does have ‘black’ XK shocks, but they are the part numbers for 2010/2011, and at the same cheap price.
Since Bilstein is the shock supplier, I checked their web site, and they list the same front shock for all XK years, and including the 2010/2011 XKR. So I took the chance and bought the ebay ‘black’ front shocks for my 2007 XK (haven’t had time to try them yet).
Unfortunately Bilstein lists different shocks for the rear for the 3 model year groups, 2007-2009, 2010-2011, and 2012-2015.
So I didn’t take the chance on getting the ebay ‘black’ rear shocks for my 2007 (although, how much different could they be?).
