We all know the rear of the SRT is a bit higher than it should be. Almost looks as though it is "tippy toe'ing" the rear wheels.

I'd like first hand experience from those who have cut their springs to lower the XF. I understand the spring is uni forced and the tension is the same throughout the spring.

Did it still deliver performance wise?

 

I tracked my Limited using cut SRT springs. So in a word, yes they deliver.

Ride is harsher, but the look is worth it. Eibachs look great but from what I hear, they're too soft for track use.

 

How low did you cut? 1/4 a turn? Did you have to heat / seal the cut end?

 

Mine actually had a full coil removed, but that was the case on all four corners. If I were to do it again, I'd only remove 3/4 turn and see where it sits.

Heat sealing isn't needed, but some POR-15 or underbody paint wouldn't hurt to prevent rust.

 

today I changed the wheels on my CF, i have installed for a test 17" rim and higher tire to bring it to the normal, or close to normal position, what a diferent in the ride WAW, the car rides still like a sports car, but it "shaved" off all the little unplesant harsh jump over the little bumps on the road, and it makes the car much quiter.I love it. my dentures do not fall off any more....
