Default Super V8 spings in XJR?

Hi everyone!

Has anyone tried fitting SV8 springs (primarily in the front) into an XJR?

How does it affect ride height and driveability?

Cheers,
Oliver

Cats shocks are matched to the springs, can you see a colour swatch painted on the springs? This tells you what's fitted, another way is to get the supply doc from Jaguar which gives all the specs from the factory build.

Thanks for your input Sean!

You mean the softer springs wont work at all with the CATS dampers?

No, I had the MNC2160DB springs in the car. This spring is a substitute for the regular spring used in the kit for the SC Sports Suspension (JLM20424). I believe they have a yellow paint on them.

As the city streets in Vienna are quite rough, I contemplated if the springs (MNC2160AD - red paint) in the comfort suspension kit (JLM20636) could be used in the car.

Cheers
