SeventyMach1,

Agree with the Jag rear being very appropriate for the car. Mine uses one and has survived a lot of street and track time over the last 32K miles.

The front is good too - with one fairly major caveat: the torsion bars mount under the frame rails, making ground clearance a potential problem. The assembler who did my car talked me into the Mustang front which has more ground clearance and I have no regrets.

Possibly there was/is a conversion to coilovers for the Jag front. If so, it would be a good unit.

That said, I do have some XKE front suspension components; probably enough for 1 or maybe two complete XKE front suspensions if you are interested. If so, send me a PM.

Tom
