Hi.. I want to lower my jaguar x type 3.0 sport and I know I need springs but what with shock absorbers do I need to change them from stock which I have now...

 

Yes!!! You probably have a bunch of miles on it and I would do shocks at the same time once you're in there.

 

But do I have to get same or better ???

 

My theory is, why get stock, when you can upgrade.

 

And if you are going THAT far you should just do coil overs

 

that's what I did ha. Glad I did too.

 

And that is what I just did I ordered kw suspension variant 1 coilover kit

 

I wish they made a variant 3 for the x type. I'm thinking about looking into some of the coilovers for the focus/mazda3/Volvo cars since there are more variety of them on the market for those cars and they share the x types suspension, I want more adjustability. So in like a year I might have some KW variant 1 coilovers for sale haha.

 

So guys I have bought kw suspension variant 1 coilover kit and they are on the way my question is or do I need to roll fenders if I want lower it as much I can with 19 inch rims with 235/35/19 tires In there, I don't want to see any gaps there....

 

I have 245/35/19s on 19x9.5 40 offset all around on my car and I had to do a lot of fender rolling, when I say a lot, I mean hours and hours of work. As far as lowering, the rear is not adjustable, but sits nicely. When I installed mine I had the stock 16s and installed the fronts with about an inch worth of threads I could lower, and when I put the 19s on I had to raise it up about another 1/4 inch or so. If you really want to get low with 19s without doing a lot of fender work you might want to look at what exexpat runs on his car. He has like 100 different wheels haha. What width and offset are you planning? that will have a lot to do with needing to roll or not.
