Hello all my first question, probably one of many to come

I have a X330 4.0 sovereign and I find the ride quite stiff not uncomfortable by any means but it's alot harder than I thought it would be..

Having read on the internet it seems you could have a Sovereign spec'd new with sport suspension and my question is, how can you tell?

My springs do have paint marks on them red/white painted on the coils.

if that is any help.,

Many thanks for any and all advices

AFAIK all sport suspension cars have a rear anti-roll bar. If true, and I think it is, that would be an easy identifier

Cheers

The hard shocks are B6, and the comfort are B4s as Bilsteins

When changing the front shock source a shock upper donut isolator ( 4 total ) and the lower bushing ( 2 )

You can see the official Jaguar parts #s in this vendor

The suspension section looking for your target is kind a pieced around

You can visually look at yours and may see gaps

There is a good video on the rear shocks , bellow
