Default Jaguar XKR handling package?

I saw this as a option on the price list, What does the XKR handling package consist of?

I believe this was an option on the XKR Coupes only for certain years and consisted of stiffer springs, painted brake calipers, and drilled/slotted rotors.

I have the handling/sport package on my 2005 XKR coupe and it includes the parts Doug noted. In addition, it also includes larger front sway bar and special steering rack. The car also sits about one centimeter lower. With the addition of upper control arm poly bushings the handling is really excellent.

So if I'm buying a second hand 2005 0r 2006 XKR- How do I recognize if a car has this package?

Easiest way short of crawling under car is turn steering lock to lock. Standard should be 2.8 turns while handling pack rack will be 2.2 turns.
