I ended up buying an original set from another member because the only bilstein ones sold by online vendors guaranteed to fit a 2013 XK did not in fact actually fit. I wrote a pretty lengthy post about the ordeal and the various part numbers for it since it seemed around the 2010 model year time was when the damper design changed from CATS to ADS and even though the dampers look identical the internal bits do not function the same and are not cross compatible, so make sure you get the right ones before spending $$$$ on the wrong kind like I did. That said if you have a CATS system compatible with 20-114497 I have a set collecting dust.
