Default H&R springs

I know everyone's tastes are different, but thought I would post these in case anyone was interested in what H&R springs look like installed on an AWD. I love my vehicle and it's AWD has served me well, but the excessive height and wheel gap drove me nuts. I felt like the springs without any spacers left it too low (front especially) for me and camber was too noticeable. after adding 15mm spacers and also a spacer on each front coil, I was finally able to get a nice even spacing around all 4 wheel wells. I'm a little picky I guess. anyway, for what it's worth...

i have changed 20 inch tyres to one more size up as usualy go arround 140miles or so, so last bit of performance is not issue for me. cars feels better, but space between wheel and arches is way too litle and thinking to ad spacers as well. BTW after change ACC doens twork anymore, only on trucks

How does the car ride on original shocks with the lower springs. that's always a concern for me if it feels as though it hit bottom.

Hi, i know the thread is old but i'm unable to find any information about lowering springs for the XF AWD...
The springs you installed are H&R - this is the only product i was able to find that they make for the XF https://www.h-r.com/en/article/?arti...uppliernr=5060
Also i've contacted them and they told me it is only for RWD - not checked for AWD. As did a lot of other manufacturers told me they don't have springs for the AWD after contacting them.
Did you encounter any issues with the springs on original shocks? Did they "just" fit? Thanks in advance, any info is much appreciated
