Hi Pacio,
I've just signed up to this forum, so can't seem to send PM's as yet.
LOVE the look of your car, well done...mine is halfway there.
I wanted to PM you about your offer of the LED lights, I want to get a set. I'm UK based. Can you PM me with the details?

I will be fitting the RS splitter soon so i will be able to give you a precise answer 
I have done around 800 miles now since the upgrade and if you have a full tank of fuel and a passanger then the rear tyres can rub against the little mudflaps on bumpy roads at higher speeds but if you keep your fuel at 50% then even with a heavy passanger no rubbing, and no vibration from spacer under any conditions as expected from the Trak+ system.
You can get the H&R spacers 15mm and 20mm sets as well as the -35mm H&R springs from LarkSpeed UK, i personally recomend Lark used them for ages never dissapointed.
I have made up some amateur comparison pics here goes :P
And the next one shows the car with new reg plates color coded jaguar strip debadged and with the suspension mods i think it looks meaner now
I have also recieved some of the parts ordered and will start putting them on tomorrow
Oh and if anyone is interested i can get another full set ( all 4 pieces) of brand new never used genuine jaguar rear LED taillights for around 350-400GBP
Also i can get a complete modified harness that has all the needed modifications to make sure you get no bulb out errors on the dash and both reverse lights working like they should.
Well thats about it still waiting for the RS diffuser, and the sideskirts, and the splitter, and new intake and.........here we go again

Camber can be set back to default no problem you just need a garage that uses otical aligment tools, laser aligment will not fit between tyre and arch after lowering, i have decided to leave some camber as the car actually handles better whrn i go for country road blast its more stable at high speed cornering and under corner exit acceleration

I used H&R Trak+ spacers 15mm front and 20mm at the rear and they installed flawlessly did not have to mpdify anything at all.

H&R Spacers on a 2007 XK
Wow am I glad I found this thread, saved me so much time in researching this topic! I believe the XK is probably different than the XKRs in this manner though as I ordered the 20mm H&R spacers all the way around. The rears fit perfectly, no modification necessary and look perfect.
The fronts however weren't enough in my opinion, and required me to cut off about 5 or so mm from the stock lugs. I would think that the fronts would do better for 25mm or even 30mm, especially if you are not lowering the car or using lowering springs and want to keep everything else stock.
I may actually try to exchange the 20mm for some 25mm spacers up front, and I will try and get some photos up too.

Why did you need spacers with the vossens? They are wider and more aggressive than stock wheels.

If Vossen doesn't make these for Jag fitment, the dealer is probably redrilling them to fit. It's a hit or miss process. Sometimes it works out fine. Somethimes it doesn't. I've tried it twice and it didn't work out either time so I'll never do it again. What pissed me off is the dealer didn't tell me he was selling me redrilled wheels. I got every penny back by threatening legal action. They should have disclosed the wheels were altered from the manufacturing process.

Oh let me explain...I plan to roll stock during the winter months, which is when i will use spacers. I travel to warmer temps often and plan to swap my wheels, and remove the spacers, at that point.

Hi Guys, and Gals.
Since i have started this thread in the first place i have decided to share my quick opinion on lowering the jag.
Jag now lowered for over half year 5.000 miles done this way, no issues, no downsides, pleasure to look at and tackle the corners, this all applies to the springs and spacers that i have used, obviously.
Have some pics too.
Thats what happens when you go trigger happy with holding the DSC button for 10 seconds too often.
And after 2 stage machine polish and swiss wax detailing, nice and shiny
Hope you treat your big cats well and want to see some aftermarket wheels fitted on your jags as im thinking to get some but have no good ideas regarding shape/size
