I have found lowering springs on ebay that say - suit V6 s-type. would anyone know if they'l fit my V8? they are the only set that i can find in australia, so im not getting hammered with shipping costs, from the U.S they're nearly $1000. any help would be great thanks guys

 

Need brand and part # of springs.

 

They're EIBACH PRO-PACK brand, no model number available just says suit v6 s-type. seller wont respond...

 

My ride wears H&R Sport lowering springs. Have you considered these? They'll work on your car too.

 

H&R & Eibach both spec different part #'s for the V6/V8 Naturally Aspirated cars and the STR. The spring rates are different due to the CATS struts v/s non CATS. I suspect the R springs are a higher spring rate and if installed on a NON R may cause it to ride like a mechanical bull.

Physically they will fit and bolt in just fine.

Just Fyi.

Take care,

George

 

ok, so i bought them, fingers crossed! thanks for your help, i will post pics when/if done.

 

Hi George, I believe Joel's 03 4.2 has the CATS suspension. Other than that you're likely correct regarding difference in spring rate. Joel, does your 4.2 have CATS?

 

I have seen some generic versions avail

 

In UK, with all the speed bumps, no-one lowers their cars anymore! My Jag. has tough rubber ***** in the springs to actually RAISE the car just over an inch (fitted by me, not OEM...)

Innit mate! , When I looked at your location, it brought back long memories when I went to Leeds back in 00' The place is mostly a financial hub, but anyhow good old times I had there; getting into bar fights with soccer holigans and what not ... ,

Good thing you modded your jag's springs, the roads there were really horrible
