The shocks that came with my coil over setup from the factor were made by Carrera which are generally considered not as good for racing situations as Koni. Also the Carreras require dismounting two adjust valving where the Koni's can be adjusted on car. They have adjustments for both bump and rebound independently with about 7 settings each.

Concerning your leak. Is the leak coming from the pinion (drive shaft) or from arround the disk brake area (half shafts). I believe either can be repaired in place. Get a Haynes maunal for the Jag XJS and it will describe how to change them. Clean the shaft and outer bore (where seal mates to housing) with laquer thinner and use a small amount of RTV on the outer edge and a bit of grease or Vasoline (sp) on the seal lip.
