Default Access to SDD in Southern California?

Hi Folks, after fixing my project 2004 XJR, now i am going after to lower the car. Per my research here and elsewhere, it seems SDD would be the best way to do this. The problem is where can I go to get this done? I called my nearest Jaguar specialty and they never heard procedure like this so does anyone in CA has done this before? where do you go to do this procedure?

As always thanks Y'all

It's not hard to do, just lie to the computer while inputing the measurements.(add whatever height you want the car to drop)

I just basically swim myself in the world of SDD and IDS. Can someone confirm if this is what i would need? I still have an older computer with 32 bit Windows 7 that I will install the program too.

I never used SDD so I can't tell you what to buy.
I did buy a DrewTech Mongoose Pro but every car I used it on reverted to Legacy IDS so I bought a few Rotunda VCMs.(that's what I used at the dealer)
I run IDS 118.5 on a Dell Latitude C640 with Windows XP Pro but Win 7 32 bit should work fine.

I ran SDD 130 on the Dell when I had the Mongoose but I sold it to a forum member years ago.

Sorry Bob, I did a lot of reading but your comment doesn't make too much sense for me. so Drewtech Mongoose Pro is the connector from computer to the car and IDS 118.5 is the program that you used?

Nevermind a quick search of Vcm gave me some answers.

The DrewTech Mongoose needs SDD 125 onward.
The Rotunda VCM can be used for IDS DVD101 (2006) to SDD into the 140's?
