Default Coilovers available for the XJ8 and XJR?

Hey JF,

I'm in the market for another XJ body and decided this time around I wanted to upgrade it a little bit.

Are there coil over systems available for the 98/99/2000 XJR for example?
I've seen springs like eibach, H&R, Mina, etc

The new XJ is going to be a bit of a "project" so I'm trying to see what is readily available..

Thanks!

There can't be a coil over because the spring and shock is separate on the front of the 98-03 XJs.

They still make coil over systems where the spring is separate... they were avail like that on my older car.

No a coil over system meens coil over the shock and integral to the shock. Otherwise its just reffered to as a coil and a shock as in the 98-03 xj. You may know what you meens but youll get others in trouble on terminology
