Having said that, I am rather sure (but can't prove) that the whole ride height differences (at least between the EU XJR and the US XJR) was done by using the different height of spring-packers.

If you check any on line parts list, you will see that there are 2 different heights available for front and rear, and they are not used both, just one or the other on top of the spring.

Might be interesting to see what comes out of yours.


Thank you ericjansen. According to the table the front will be only 1 mm lower and back only 3 mm.

A couple of millimeters will disappear in the building tolerances of Jaguar.
If you want to go lower, check the packers while disassembling.
If they come out as the thicker ones, replace them for the thinner ones.
