Do you'd think mpresions car would look great with gloss black Sentas? I find myself looking at a lot of black cars with black wheels and admiring how cool it looks. Makes it stand out as something special, not cookie cutter.

I sent an email to Spires asking if they had a distributor in the US for the springs, and included my car stats.
Interesting response...they said the lowering springs could not be used on the MY 2010+ XKR.
They are fine for the non SC (XK), but not for the XKR.
So, I am back to square one. For me, 1.3 inches or more is too much of a drop. The 20MM/.78 inch drop would be perfect.

rscultho, did you speak with Matt there at Spires? He was great when he helped me out. Its kind of wierd that they stated it wouldnt work on the my2010+ XKR's as other manufacturers use the same springs for MY2007+ on both standard XK's and XKR's.

I am sort of puzzled a well...I guess there is significant differences between the 2010+ MY XK suspension and that of the XKR...otherwise I don't know why the springs would not work.

Did you use 5mm or 15mm in the rear? Most of your posts indicate 5mm. Thanks.
