Bilstein/Jaguar genuine units every time. Forget the budget products.

Bilstein B4 units for comfort spec, B6 if you want to stiffen the ride to slightly ungraded gas sport spec. Plenty available on the internet. I found best deals from Germany paying in Euro`s. Find the OE part number, type into Google and see what comes up. I`ve saved a fortune in the past on dampers bought in this way.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I found shock absorbers in Germany, but I do not know if they fit my Jaguar. I have a Jaguar xf 3.0 D S 275 horses 2013, sportbreak. Here is the page with shock absorbers https://autoteile.check24.de/stossdampf ... gJDy_D_BwE
The number of shock absorbers is Bilstein 24-203012
Will it fit?

If you type that Bilstein part number into Google, UK suppliers appear...Try Motorsportworld who speak English. Plenty of others also stocking. These particular B4 Bilstein units are listed for 2.7/3.0 D and several other models from March 08. To be sure the listed number is correct for your car, it is always a good idea to seek confirmation before buying. Also go direct to the Bilstein site where you can undertake your own parts search and quickly confirm suitability yourself.

Once you have the confirmation, then you can buy from your preferred supplier. Watch exchange rates and shipping costs and import taxes if importing. Unless you have a good currency exchange rate at the time you buy, its often easier and less stressful buying from a UK source.
