Anyone know of anywhere in the US who supplies lowering springs for the new XKR? A few places in the UK but cant find any here.

they have two sets of lowering springs listed under the ''wheels-brakes-suspension'' section...... but they don''t say if they are for the old style xk8''s or the ''07+ xk line..........

Phil - I had paramount springs installed on my car here when they did the exhaust, ecu and pulley. They were pretty reasonable and although lower, the ride is not noticably harsher

about an inch drop with no noticeable difference in ride quality - however I only had a few hundred miles on the car when they were installed so I may not be the best judge

Check out Eurotoys, LTD. I believe they are in Illinois.
Here is a link to their site: http://eurotoysltd.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=49_82_91
