Hate to hijack the thread but where did you get your fastman tb from? Did you notice a difference after install?

ordered it directly from fastman... it was a decent mod. nota huge difference after install.

I started a thread about this recently. ... I noted the spring codes for my XK but haven't been able to find information on spring rates that would allow us to estimate how much ride height you'd gain.

im thinking if i do go that route ill go XK rears and CRD fronts w/ JBA spacer. supposedly they have a 609lb spring rate. the XK rears im wondering what the difference in spring rate is compared to the WK. i saw your thread.

Just installed OME HD coils and struts on my XK two weeks ago. I have a HEMI with towpackage and have the coils sitting in my garage. Send me a pm if you're interested......

Im considering doing this and ridding myself of my daystar lift... I wonder what OME springs and 1/4" spacers would do?

Edit, im looking for about an inch or just alittle more....

if youre looking for an inch or alittle more youre going to douible your goal with the OME springs and 1/4" spacer. now i think if you did:


- rear OEM xk tow package coils
- front HEMI or CRD coils
- bilstein hd shocks/struts
- jba front strut spacer

you would be looking at an inch maybe an inch and 1/4" over the stock height. its tempting to go this route.

the bilsteins wont add to the ride height. theyre a good upgrade, but not necessary if he's doing this on a budget.

depending how bad those stockers are, you may see a small boost- maybe a 1/2"
