The Modding Has Begun!

I know I've said it previously, your car, you do what you want with it.
A little tasteful personalization can't be a bad thing, IMHO.
One of the 'modded' XKRs that we have on the forum is GhostriderXKR08, his car always has me drooling, and my cheque book running for cover.
Check him out.

Do you find you scrape the underside of your car's nose much more now its lowered? (say when coming up to steep changes in road surface such as speedbumps and T junctions on hills).
Even though my car is not lowered, there's still been multiple times/locations where I've scraped its nose on the road.
Its a sickening sound but thankfully so far it apparently hasn't damaged the car other than a few hidden scratches underneath. I would expect with the nose being any lower at all, I'd be continually facing large repair bills.

Gentleman Racer, that you said the exhaust could be more aggressive made me chuckle. Here I am debating if I want to add the resonators back on! And I like it loud! Perhaps the video doesn't do it justice. I bumped into the only XKR-S owner in Dallas. We rev'd and compared. It was clear to us and our wives mine was louder and deeper. But I liked the slightly higher tone on the S. Mine sounds more deep.

Here you go. Keep in mind this is a cold start so the idle will be high. Making the contrast not as great. But as the idle settles down youl'll get a better idea. Love the crackle pop on overrun!

Corrected now
It's an XKR (2007). 20 mm rear spacers, 15 mm spacers front. With a full tank of fuel and passenger, I'm getting some slight rubbing on inside of the rear wheel arch (NOT body). Me alone, no rubbing.
The rear box exhaust has been changed, so I think I lost a little bit of weight there too. So this should be calculated into it too.

Spring brand
Sorry Bruce I did a typo...it's 25 mm. I hadn't had my morning cuppa to wake up!

Where did you get your lowering springs from?

It's interesting that Ademesh offers a variety of sizes. The only springs that Mina Gallery offers are the equivalent of 30.48mm.

The XKR-S is lowered 10mm stock. 15mm is .59 inches, which would be ok on mine I think. That would be about half of Evoking's lowered amount.
