they have two sets of lowering springs listed under the 'wheels-brakes-suspension' section...... but they don't say if they are for the old style xk8's or the '07+ xk line..........

Phil - I had paramount springs installed on my car here when they did the exhaust, ecu and pulley. They were pretty reasonable and although lower, the ride is not noticably harsher

about an inch drop with no noticeable difference in ride quality - however I only had a few hundred miles on the car when they were installed so I may not be the best judge

Check out Eurotoys, LTD. I believe they are in Illinois.
Here is a link to their site: http://eurotoysltd.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=49_82_91

Thanks but they are exactly the springs I can get from PP at a fraction of the price.....I will just have Paul send me a set over.

Be careful with lowering the car with just springs alone.. The stock shocks were not made to be used at that height or under the increased load, and without replacing the shocks with the springs (such as a full coil-over setup) your effectively sealing the fate of your shocks going bad within a year.. and once modified your warranty wont cover any damage to them.
