Give it some time. The ride gets very harsh, but firm. Check your tire pressure and watch for tire wear. Did you get a 4 wheel alignment?

Sounds like he didn't use the rubber cushion to prevent the squeaks.

If you didn't get the wheel alignment, expect some tire wear.

the standard lowering kit for the jag drops it about 1.25 inches. And the ride is firm andstiff. Excellent when you accelerate and the rear doesn't drop.....
