Default BC coliovers on my JAG XKRS

Hi.
Driving XKR-S 2012 recently.

I've searched in this forum but found not that much information in this regard.

The reason I am intending to install this BC coilover kit to my Jag XKRS is

1. To make it look nice.
2. Experienced so uneasy feeling of the ride when I passed bumps on the road. ( my car's set up : Stock damper + H&R lowering spring)

During my search, I found some says "CATS" , what is this?


I wonder how I could delete the error code possibly appear when I install those coliovers as I think my car has EDC.


Thank you guys

Linking together the 3 threads you have going on here… your desire to keep modding the car is what is killing the handling of the car.
Moreover, “who” is doing the work? Good luck, I’m out.

The car has such a stiff ride that bumps on the road send him airborne. Add a little centrifugal force and the car heads sideways. The camber seems extreme and bye bye rubber on those tires. Just a regular XK with a screwed up alignment and she will tend to handle the same as TAEUCKs car.
Unusual wear on those wide tires will send them into vibration mode at speed.

@guy,

If you think so, what do you think is the best for improvement?

You said that the springs were changed. Replace them with the originals new or used.
You said Bilstein shocks are being used and most likely they are the originals.
Are the rims more than 20" in diameter? Probably you can keep them.
