Hey all, I am new to the Jaguar F-type R and was thinking about wheels and springs for the car. Just curious what springs are available that will lower the car (closing up that huge wheel gap, especially in the front), but I don't really want it to make for a harder ride. I would like something that keeps the ride the same... Just lower.
Second part, LOL
I am thinking about wheels and tires. Just wondering if anyone found the right offset/backspacing/size/etc for this car (front and back)? Also, my car is an AWD so I am wondering what the widest tire that can be on the fronts and on the back (I would like to get as much grab as possible), and also what is the maximum difference there can be between the front and rear rolling diameter without throwing the AWD computer into a panic or causing issues with the trans itself? (* I know on my Porsche the front and rear rolling diameter can not vary by more than 2% from each other, and from stock diameter sizing... So just wondering how the Jag F-type R AWD system works *) Thanks

 

I'm halfway complete installing the KW Height Adjustable Suspension (only springs available for the AWD) on my 16'R. Plan to finish up this weekend and will review the ride quality, handling, etc. For the tire rolling diameters, I put on new 265/35/30 Sport Maxx Race 2 up front several weeks ago with stock sized 295/30/30 PS4 rears on stock Gyrodynes and no issues or error at any speed after 400+ miles including a road trip. Hopefully helpful as a data point.
