Greetings to all,
I spent most of the day on and off looking to source standard height front springs to replace the originals,........, can't find a source anywhere so far:-/ Moss motors has them on 'special order' (4-8 weeks out).
Anyone know of a source that stocks these? I'm not looking to lower the xk, just replace most front suspension parts; springs included..........
Thank you in advance
Robert

 

Robert, here is a place to start.
Shipping is sometimes quicker than stateside.

Kit is both springs, but I think the aftermarket ones may be each.

Make sure that VAT is not included in your price.

 

You can also try DCR https://www.xk8-parts.com/2016/10/ja...-gallery-page/

 

Thanks Steve, I wonder if you would chime in.
Robert is going for the full Monty on his new XKR and should hope we can help him get the best out of it.

 

I used Lesjefors that I found on Amazon sold by an independent seller. Makes the front a little high but I'm hoping it'll settle some with some more miles. TM

 

Update on front end Full Monty:-)

lower ball joint/remove and replace,........, pass the acetylene torch and impact hammer please.......

Parts shipped to Wayne? Check

upper A arm bushings removed and replaced? Check

Upper ball joints and sway bar links removed and replaced? Check

lower ball joints remove and replace? Negative/ still in deep freeze

source for front springs unsuccessful; lots of options for lowering the car, which I would consider in the future; but focus now is on the front end.

remove and replace bilstein shocks/springs/upper mount? Negative,...., very soon:-))

hope I get the shims, camber on point; or close to:-/...... we will see.

I have a new day tomorrow to follow up on a few leads,....., pictures and updates to follow....thanks to the group!

 

20ton press for the lower ball joints - removal of old easy, install of new a bit of a pain but I used a 4x4 block to brace the lower arm as the ball joint was pressed in
