On a recent fundraiser rallye..........

 

Let me guess: George Constanza’s “Human Fund”?

 

This weekend I

attended a Concours d' Elegance with the Rocky Mountain Jaguar Club at the Cherry Creek Country Club. Judged First Place Best of Class scoring a 9.8

 

A beautiful car in a beautiful color.

 

There's an episode of Seinfeld for almost every situation in life. BTW it's Costanza.

 

I'm obviously a bit biased color wise but that must be the best looking and most uniquely specced SVR I've seen.

 

New wheels and tires to accentuate the beautiful lines of my F-Type

Petlas Velox Sport PT741 305/30zr20 tires made for a nice alternative to the Perellis mounted up to a set of Vertini RFS2.1 in Dual Black.

When presented with an opportunity, take it!

 

“My other car is a U2”?

 

 

It's been done before!

Looks like it needs a slight drop to make it that much easier to secure the bike!

 

Awesome mod to increase fuel consumption

 

 

I have only had this baby for a week but am loving it! 2017 SVR.

how do the springs effect ride quality? Not to high jack the thread but I’ve been looking for some coilovers to help smooth (and lower) the ride just a bit.

 

I would characterize the day-to-day ride with these springs as being slightly harder than stock, but not shockingly so. Actually harder isn't the right description, since it's actually a tiny bit nicer on small bumps. It's just less forgiving on larger bumps now, I believe mainly because there's simply less travel available. I think the fact that the springs are progressive rate helps with it being slightly gentler on small bumps. That, and I took a couple pounds of pressure out of each tire.
​​
The way I see it is that I've traded a tiny bit of ride comfort in certain situations for a big upgrade in handling, stability, and looks. And frankly, I never expected (or wanted) this car to have a plush cushy ride anyway. It's not a Rolls. I'll get the cushy ride when I'm old .

That being said, I wouldn't want to drive this setup anywhere that has rough roads. Obviously there is now less suspension travel available, as well as less clearance. Would not use this setup for the Sand Job lol.


Truth be told, installing lowering springs on this car has been a bit of an ordeal for me (due to peculiarities of this car, not the springs).
If I could have a redo, knowing what I know now, I would spend a bit extra and go with KW height adjustable springs, which look intriguing. I wouldn't get coilovers because I'd want to keep the adaptive dampers.
