Anyone? I did a search yesterday and I saw there were a few people bouncing the idea just want a long term follow up.

One thing I do like about them is that they are user serviceable. they have the grease zergs.

You can't always expect replies after 15 hours, especially for smething most of us have probably never needed.

The kit says it ends with 2003. Many of the regular guys on here have cars after that (me, too).

The ones you listed are only up to 2003. Who do you see who regularly posts with a car like that - search their posts and see.

They may chime in but would only need to have been away for a day to not yet have had a chance.

The front and rear suspension was changed as part of the major update for the (2002.5 in Europe) 2003 model year. Many of the general auto parts sites list the wrong information for the S. It has to do with the fact that more Camry's are made in a year than Jaguar sold S Types from 2000 to 2008. Not a very common car therefore the aftermarket is real weak when it comes to them.
