Shock Absorber Issue??

My front end is bouncing ALOT when going over speed bumps both at highway speed and normal driving speeds. Im a bit surprised since the car only has 45k miles (2009 model) but perhaps its time for replacements? Anyone else out there had an issue like this?

Are these adaptive or standard shocks?

I've just been told my adaptive shocks are leaking at year six/35k miles. Shocked is what I was also as they're going to cost the best part of a grand to replace!

Same issue with my 67k miles / 2010 IS. £1500 to replace both front shocks.

Do it yourself. It's not that hard.

I assume one would have to have the M Sport adaptive suspension package for this to be applicable? Or are all Zeds equipped this way?

M-Sport (EDC) shocks costs like $750 each so it's not the work.
