2012 Lowering Spring Installation Help
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just got my springs from H&R and I am going to attempt install this next week. Not sure who posted the factory tear down and installation guide for rears but wanted to see if any Jaguar employed members can get the same for front springs. Also there is one to remove the trunk liner to get to rear strut. If someone can post these it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance!

I love your XF
what type of tinting did you do for your tail light ?
is the jaguar leap badge black ? or cf ? and what wheels are those ? I love them.
fitment and size ? is it forged ? they look like the HRE's P41 i wanted, but yours is a deeper concave
Nevermind, I just saw your sig lol
what offsets are you on ? it doesnt look like factory Offsets, I am having a hard time figuring out what offsets to go for with Mina springs on.
it looks like you're about on the same page as I am but the look of your offsets look exactly like what I'm looking for, with mina / h&r springs there should be no clearance issue

Kyu,
In my opinion the H&R springs are the way to go. Especially if you are running 20's. The Mina springs dont drop it enough. The ride is 100% better all day long. My rear tails are lightly tinted with film. I have had darker in the past but did not want to deal with tickets being I am in SOCAL. I have never had any issues with this so far. They look great at night and appear blacked out. My rear emblems are black. I ordered new ones and had them sprayed black then reinstalled. I also suggest the H&R springs due to price. THMmotorsports sold them shipped to my house for $211. This is far less expensive than Mina. I have dealt with Chris @ Mina and they are great but springs are pricy. I ordered my diffuser through them. Fitment for my wheels is below.
20x9 +35 front and 20x10.5 +45 rear.
