No not really. They look like they stick out a bit too much, will you be able to lower it?

TC. I was looking back at your posts to find a side profile picture of your car with the Vossens. Didn't find one. Ready to post some updated photos? Is the car handling any different with the Vossens? When Donk put on his lighter Forgestars he indicated no change in handling. What's your experience with the Vossens?

TC you're going the wrong way. Down not up. I assume it's on a stand. You decide what kit you're going to use? I've been thinking bout the Spires kit lately.

I was just joking, the car is actually getting lowered, and the rim sits flush with the fenders. TC

Car is almost done and I will post some new pics soon, Handling has not changed much, at least not enough for me to notice. Obviously, the ride is firmer. I have not changed the way I drive and cannot tell the difference in "feel" with the Vossens. Only difference is, now I turn into driveways a lot slower. I think this side shot was posted before, but incase you missed it, here is another pic.

I thought about the Spires Coilover kit but I heard through my shop that KW has a kit for our XF's that they are developing and I can get a heavy discount through my shop when it is actually ready, so I went with H&R springs for now. The drop is about 1.5" all around and the shop should be done with my car by Monday. Since the last time I posted pics, I have also tinted my tail lights and am thinking about a 8 pistons Rotora BBK or a 6 piston Brembo BBK in the near future. I will hopefully get some new pics up next week. TC

THe KWs should be worth the wait. Let us know how it feels with that much drop. Those BBKs are steep but look darn good (and I guess they add performance as a bonus). Keep updating us.

Eventually I'll stop being lazy and do something with mine.

I have not had a chance to drive or see the car in person yet. I will be picking the car up Monday, Just waiting for the shop to do an allignment. I was told that there is a slight rub on the wheel well plastic on turns, But the shop is trying to find a solution.

Wheels are 22x9, not sure of the offsets and the tire size is 245/30/22 all around.

Since you removed the emblem and leaper I guess it's not a Jaguar anymore. So I'll just say that's a nice looking "Juglar" you have now. Nice work. lol

Use the search. Here is the only one I know of:

Jaguar XF Performance Parts, Exhaust Intake Systems, K&N, Borla, Remus, Arden, for Jaguar XF

I have it and I like the sound. Most XF owners like the sound of it. It isn't too loud. There is a thread with sound clips. Search for Mina.
