Not as bad as I expected… H&R lowering Springs +powerflex bushings. The front end will be done this weekend and I’ll start on the rear.







the rear next

Curious to hear how they go. Annoyingly the 5.0 gen didn't get much love for spring options and from what I know most may not be very suitable - with H&R being the closest but with a pretty aggressive drop.

I got the sport ones with a 1.3” drop. That was the least I could find and I measured as best as I could so hopefully it’ll be correct. I also have 20mm spacers on the rear which should be about right. Fingers crossed.

@Obtuse1 How did you get on with lowering?

having a problem with one bushing. Supercharger is back but I’ll post when done!

Excellent! I was wondering because the part numbers on those springs seem to mainly be for an XF (29117-1) vs 29299-1. I found a matching set on my version of eBay for cheap so was interested in trying them out if they seem to work correctly.

H&R is no help as one of their sites lists 29299 as being correct (https://hrsprings.com/application/se.../16/Suspension) and (https://www.h-r.com/artikel/?article...uppliernr=4311) suggests 29117 as being correct! I would imagine if there is a difference, the 29117 springs would be slightly stiffer as the XF is a bit heavier than the XK.
