NOPE.

Properly, and that is the KEY word, set up Jaguar IFS is superb to anything I have ever seen.

Way too many Series cars, and XJS, IFS units are patched up, with a "near enough" mentality, which is such a waste, but I am biased I suppose.

the only thing i see to change IFS, is could be made lighter weight, using modern designs/ materials!
but hardly worth the expense and labor!
may as well replace the whole body in Aluminum and Magnesium, gonna do it ,DO IT RIGHT!
