Frequently Asked Questions


Are the heavy duty shocks designed for hard use or made as an all around shock?
Bilstein heavy duty shocks are very suitable for both on and off road use. They may be stiffer than your OEM shocks, but should give you a better feeling of control and stability.

What is the main difference between the different settings?
Comfort setting shocks would be very much like the original shocks for your car. Heavy Duty will be somewhat stiffer and give your car a stiffer and more controlled ride. Sport setting shocks are 30% stiffer than Heavy Duty and are usually used with lowering springs for very hard driving and competition. We recommend Heavy Duty shocks for most applications.

Do you sell air shocks?
We are not currently selling any air shocks.

How do I find the part number for the Bilstein shocks that came with my vehicle?
The part number should be stamped onto the body of the shock. If a casual inspection doesn't turn it up, I'd give a dealer a call and ask him what the OEM shocks are.

Sport Tuned Steering and Suspension - Bushings

Give your Jaguar the handling you’ve always wanted it have without sacrificing the famous Jaguar ride.

Our sway bars, polyurethane bushings and Bilstein Heavy Duty shock absorbers will dramatically sharpen your Jag’s road manners with sportier suspension response and crisp, accurate steering. All of this and improved ride quality too!

 


Polyurethane Bushings

Make your car handle better than new with our polyurethane suspension bushing kits from Prothane the industry leader in poly bushings. 

Jaguars are notorious for weak or deteriorating steering rack bushings which leads to a vague steering feel and requires the driver to make constant steering corrections in a turn.  Replacing these rack bushings may be the best $38 you have ever spent on your car.  Furthermore, most Prothane bushings are manufactured as 2 pieces with a tall shoulders to allow them to be snapped into place by hand or with a small furniture clamp unlike conventional bushings which require a press to install. 

Production vehicles are built using rubber bushings in control arms, strut arms, leaf springs, body mounts, motor mounts, transmission mounts, sway bars and shocks.  Additionally, rubber components can be found being used on coil spring pads, leaf spring pads and suspension bump stops.  Not only are rubber components designed to be on the soft side to accommodate the typical car buyer, they tend to deteriorate rapidly.  This contributes to premature component failure, a "spongy" ride, vague steering, rattles and clunks and less than ideal performance handling.  Urethane can correct these conditions, and make your car more responsive than ever.

All New: The Driven Man exclusive Sport Springs for XJS and XJ12

NEW ITEM - Contact us for Pricing

These springs provide better control and a sportier feel, while still maintaining excellent road manners.

Springs

 


Sway Bars (anti roll bars)

Please see "Sway Bar Applications" also.

 

With a typical stock suspension, not only will you experience body roll, but your vehicle will understeer and "plow" through corners. With the simple addition of our performance Anti-Sway bars, you will notice a drastic improvement in handling, substantially less body roll and better balance.

Our kits offer larger diameter sway bars to replace the factory units. These are a MUST HAVE for any XJS or XJ6, as the front bars were too small, and the small rear bars were deleted altogether after 1980.

Key Features:

  • Polyurethane bushings for superior control and long life

  • All of the necessary hardware and bracketry is included in every kit we sell

  • Black Powder coating on all sway bars – Zinc plating is optional

  • Billet Alloy locating links and brackets for the rear bar for the XJS.  Other models use the Jaguar factory brackets
