JimC64, do you want to cordinate a group deal? I can do it and I'm interested getting these but I'm in the middle of several different mods right now (s/c upgrade, SuperCooler, Hoffel Quad Tail Lights, new hoses and engine bling from XKRacer, plus a couple more I'm trying to finish) and need to finish these before I take on anything else.

Hi everybody,
finally we are ready to deliver the Jaguar XK8/XKR shock absorber kit. Their develop took a little time to make us sure to have success with enthusiast costumers as you are. Thecnical caracteristics are available in the attached file, pricing from price list €5.878,00, special discounted price for Jaguar forum users €4.950,00. Please contact me for any further information.

 

I was lurking to see the price of these. I wasn't surprised. The shock unit in the rear of my motorcycle was very expensive so I expected these units to be very dear. If you are a weekend track guy, these could be very useful and worth the cost if you need a winning edge. I would not use them for the street but I am a cheapskate!

 

Too pretty for the street.......first puddle and I'd cry!

 

You take your car out when there are puddles?!? Oh, the humanity!

 

regarding the sporty in my car now I got the best!

- OHLINS coilover suspension kit
- QUAIFE LSD differential QDF5W
- POWERFLEX " Black Series " hi-perf poly bushes
- H&R 15mm spacers
- eccentric bolts for adjusting the camber

TOP GEAR track test on Vairano circuit..... caming soon!

 

5,000 euros?


I can get the Mina springs for about 350 I think, I will be making a thread requesting pointers on how to install them soon.

 

if let me to make a choice between this and a TS supercharger, hmmmmmm~~
how about you?

 

I think it's more important to have a perfect set that many horses without being able to make good use!

Now i have perfect set..... i think that the next work will be... TS!

Are you ready Avos? :-)

 

I agree with Deuce 2000, he's a wise guy!!!!!!!! Power is nothing without traction, this is the first rule in the professional Motorsport businnes!!!

 

For track driving I can agree without any doubts, but imho not so much for street driving. I mean it’s not that you don’t have any traction at all with extra power and even with the stock car you can’t take corners with full power (although with a clutch type LSD its doable and fun).

If you have a tired suspension, I can certainly recommend to get it back to at least stock levels, or even better (i.e. with the Ohlins, or stiffer stock shocks), but the car is just too heavy to become an agile racer. The extra power certainly makes acceleration much more effortless (and more exciting). But thats me, I preffer powerrrrrr ;-)
