welcome to the forum - what year is your XKR? What is the mileage? A low front is most likely caused by worn upper shock mounts - check this by looking at area around upper shock bolts and you will see crumbling foam if shock mounts are bad. Other contributors are lower shock bushings and/or control arm bushings or worn springs or shocks. I would more than likely suspect the upper mounts as they disintegrate over time vice mileage

Measure the distance between the center of the wheel to the top of the fender arch. It should be about 15.75 inches. If it is less the shock mount is probably bad.
