A replacement XREAS system consists of 4 shocks, dampers, check valves, and all of the interconnecting tubing shipped as a complete, closed system, and is installed as such by the dealer shop. That's why it costs upward of $2500 to replace it. Also why most people just remove it when it fails and replace it with more conventional shocks.
If you want to stay OEM, you can replace the XREAS shocks with the conventional OEM shocks for an SR5, and your Sport will now handle and ride like an SR5.
