Yeah i saw it on the website. But in the description, it says the coilovers are for S-type. Maybe they were not made for XF but just happen to be able to be put in XF? I'm not sure about this. I will ask them, and thank you for the advice.

They make them for the XF and XFR(and s/c). I have emailed him about shipping to the states as well, and they do. Just shoot them an email and they can get you a quote.

Looks great!

Did you go with H&R shocks too or are you on OE shocks?

There are is no perfect setup for suspension. It will vary based on the person behind the wheel and the road beneath the tires. With over 15yrs as a professional race mechanic I can assure you that running at over 230mph on an oval track, or bouncing down the streets of Long Beach or winding around Laguna all require different springs/dampers. This is even true with 2 different drivers on the same team. Bottom line is what works or feels right for you.
So go ahead and change your springs or leave it factory. Its right if you like it that way.
