Hello everyone. I have completed the front end suspension overhaul on the jag. Wow does she ride great now. I can now feel the rear suspension more than the front and want to see if there is a specific set of shocks I should get. I put the bilstein b3 shocks in the front with the poly urethane shock mounts. Should I go ahead and order the same ones for the rear? Just want to get a general consensus because I first changed the mounts out with the parts geek shock mounts and I read that they fail pretty quickly which is why when I changed the shocks I got the poly urethane mounts. Finally got a good picture of the car after i detailed it rigorously.

 

If you're happy with your front shocks and you got a good deal on them, I'd stay with a matching pair on the rear. We installed the Bilstein replacement shocks on both axles of my wife's 2006 XK8 (rears in October 2014 and fronts in January 2016) and she is very happy with them. I got a good deal on both pair at FCPEuro....

 

New Bilsteins and new foam spring donuts in back and you should be all set for a while.

I bought the shocks from Summit Racing for just less than $100/ea shipped.

 

Thank you for the replies! I guess I will go for the same bilsteins for the rear. They are great shocks. I really like the way the car handles now. I am working out these issues here and there with the car. Every month I get something else corrected and enjoy the car more and more. The jag sure does turns heads after its been detailed!
