Lowering xk8

[tony m]

I've just bought a 2004 xk8 with 20 inch wheels on it but it seems to sit a bit high,can anyone recommend an easy way to lower the car by about 50 mm? Or who does this?

Would have to be a set of shorter springs

Lowering springs will lower the car by about 25mm. Not quite the 50 you are looking for. We supply and fit Eibach springs which are a top rated brand. If you are anywhere near Andover, Hampshire you could call in to our workshop to see our XK which has been lowered by the amount you are after.

Tony,

i have a set of 4 road springs from a '99 XJR sat in my garage. i believe these a lower than standard XJ items and if anyone on here can confirm if they will fir the XK then you are welcome to them. Nowt wrong with them, i just went for even shorter ones when i had the XJR. Let me know if they are any good to you as i am going to Gaydon SS on the 2nd Nov and will happily bring them along,

Not 100% sure myself tho' a bit of research or a question asked on here might clarify,
