Default Advice: Aftermarket coilovers SF Racing, BC Racing vs stock CVD

I'm looking for your experience going from stock
Continous Variable Damping CVD CATS coilover to aftermarket coilovers.

Any regrets? Any improvements?
The roads are pretty bad where I live so im not
looking for a track setup.

Is anyone using the SF Racing coilovers?

How about the BC Racing coilovers?

Any other options for our XKs other than the 2 above?

Yes, there are a handful of other options, including Swallows Racing in the UK. But sounds like you're after comfort, not performance so I reckon OEM might be best suited for your application.

Thanks, I do want to firm up the suspension a bit,
but no need for a track setup.
is there any aftermarket coilovers for sale that work with
CATS cvd?

I have the SF Racing coilovers in my living room right now for my 2007 jaguar XK. the bottom nut was too wide to be installed without needing to take out excess amounts of parts & labor over some coilovers. So, i emailed them and they sent me 2 thin nuts for the front 2 struts that I have yet to try and install. will come back and update this post!


//Edit, Forgot to vouch for SF Racing customer support - they have handled this very well with prompt responses, so far.

SNAPCHAT, thanks for sharing, I am tempted to order
these but I'm hoping for a similar to stock ride height.
Please update and look forward to your progress.
