Jaguar coilovers ?
I read somewhere that some of the Jags have twin coilovers at the back, and that some builders use them...
The wrecker I called said he'd do some for me for around 20quid (if I wanted 'good' shock absorbers).
Any thoughts on that?
Guess you'd have to get new springs... anyone know the spring rate on the xj6 coil overs?
I think they're a bit bulkier than the nice racing ones, and not adjustable, but if you use something like Bobs inboard suspension, you can
probably get around both.
Might get a bit tight at the back end, I guess.
Thoughts?

Answered half my own question.
Spring rate around 160lb - a bit light.

Other thoughts appreciated though.
