Default 2006 XK8 VE / shock absorber

Just bought a XK8 Victory Édition 2006 convertible. It has a Sport Mode, does it mean that the Blitstein shock need a special model for electronic ajustement ?

thank you

They all have a "Sport Mode" button, it has to do with a separate set of parameters for the operation of the transmission.

For the shocks, best is to check the top of the shocks in the engine compartment. If there is a pair of wires coming off the very top, the rebound is electrically adjustable, and are therefore the more expensive "special" kind. Are you looking at changing them? Check ride height and double check the upper mount first.

Best of luck, keep us posted.
