Default Other Options for suspension ?

Hi everyone
2012 XF SC (Currently Stock)

I can't really find anything domestic (USA) for suspension upgrades. Except for Eibach / H&R / Mina springs

is there anything else such as kits and etc to improve the handling ? without much sacrifice of the comfort ?

I can find a ton of performance parts and upgrades on my bmw
but for jags..

Welcome to the extremely limited world of "upgrading" Jags. I feel your pain. I'm actually considering installing the H&R springs, but unlike some other folks out there, the appeal to me isn't about the look. I'd just like a little firmer setup, whether it's going around city turns quickly or changing lanes quickly when going over 100 mph. I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around and 15mm spacers on the rear, all of which I love, but I'd still like it to feel a little tighter/more aggressive. I realize that it's a Jag, so comfort is a priority, but it's a tad soft for my taste.

However, I'm a little hesitant to experiment with the springs, given the high potential dissatisfaction-cost attributable to the extensive labor; i.e. I don't want to risk throwing away $1,000 (plus or minus) to see if I'll like the new ride, etc.

So, I'm also looking at the Ultra Racing front and rear braces, to see if that will tighten it up somewhat without swapping out the springs, and I'm waiting on them to get back with me regarding fitment.

I'll keep you posted...

I wonder if the XFRS strut tie and sway bars were beefed up at all...
