Mina lowering springs
#1
#4
I have my other car lowered about 2 inches and it rides fine with the koni adjustables on medium.
Mina states that the springs keep the ride about the same with minimal harshness.

I might try this after I order the mina exhaust.

This is true. My 09 had the Mina springs and it didnt change the ride since it didnt lower it much. The handling was improved of course. The install was a PITA!

With the wishbone style suspension the xf,xk, and xj use you will always have some negative camber. A little bit of negative camber is not a bad thing. I'd be more concerned with toe of the tires. That will eat a tire up a lot faster then a -2 or -3 camber. With about a one inch drop I think the camber won't be far enough off specs to be concerned about.

I think the XF has a perfect stance already. And, it was engineered to have a specific handling charactericstics/balance with the factory springs.
Plus, lowered vehicle = scraped bumper covers and tailpipes. You have to be extremely carefully pulling in and out of inclined driveways. Just not worth it....
Also, a lot of those companies will advertise 1" drop and two months later you have more like 2" drop.

These look like interesting options that are made specifically for our car. I think it would drop the car by less than 1 inch.

Note that Spires suggests not lowering the XF by much. They suggest 18 mm (3/4 of an inch) in their coil over bumf.

Mina springs are made by Vogtland in Germany,
Eibach claims to be in-house designed and made by them as well.

Hey guys I posted a new similar thread before reading this one. Does anyone have any answers now that it was posted about 2 months ago.
Which are the best and did you also buy struts? Will any of these springs affect the Jaguar adaptive suspension? Will any of these springs wear down the suspension any quicker if struts aren't added?
Any help would be appreciated!
