great XK and photos, just wondering in the photos with the JBA's there is one shot of the front strut without the coil. Are you running without it?

What picture are you talking about? The coil is in all of the pictures I see....
(and if the coil wasn't in there, the front would be fully compressed and look awkward because there wouldn't be anything holding the front up)
the one right below the JBA shot, I dont see the front coil on the strut. Sorry I stand corrected, you can just see the bottom of it my bad
It's there.
yeah I didnt see it when I first looked. I missed the bottom, I was looking for the whole coil. I do like the look of the JBA UCA's though.
in post # 25 , third pic. there is no coil spring on the strut. ? oh yeah its there, duh.
Killer rig dude......
I discovered a new problem. I have some grinding on the inner rim of the front wheels at full lock with the wheel somewhat unweighted. It's enough to grind off half of the wheel weights and a portion of the rim.
Here is the driver side wheel at full lock with normal weighting:

Here is the passenger side at full lock with the front end jacked up a ways:

I spoke with AEV and the wheels are the correct 25mm offset version for the XK. We are not sure yet what the problem is.
Wow... interesting..
They're 8.5" wide with +25mm which means they have 5.75" backspace. When dealing with inside rubbing like that, I like to think in terms of backspace since fitment based on "backspace" does not change with wheel width. (in other words, 5" backspace is always 5" backspace... but +25mm offset will differ in fitment depending on the wheel width being discussed).
For instance my wheels are 8" wide with +18mm offset, that equates to 5.25" backspace. That extra 1/2" would probably help with that rubbing issue.
I thought the Pintler wheels. were abt 5.3" of backspace
