Jaguar Coilovers

We carry Jaguar coilovers for seven models, fifteen kits in all: the F-TYPE, XE, XF, XK, XJ, S-Type and X-Type. What decides the kit changes from model to model. On the F-TYPE, rear or all-wheel drive decides the BC kit, and the electronic dampers decide the KW kit. With Ksport, it comes down to the front lower mount.

Not sure about the dampers or mounts on your Jaguar? Call and read us the VIN: 1-800-460-9106.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

What to check first: drive, dampers and mounts

Which one matters depends on the model.

RWD or AWD

BC sells separate F-TYPE kits for each.

Electronic dampers

KW's F-TYPE kits depend on your dampers. The one for cars with electronic dampers adds a cancellation kit to stop dash warnings.

Before you buy: what Jaguar owners run into

Here is what Jaguar owners report most often on owner forums, in recalls and in service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.

XJ air suspension failures
XJ (X350), 2003 to 2009

Jag-Lovers owners report air suspension fault lights, a collapsed front air strut and a car on its bump stops. Two lean toward coil springs or coilovers at the next failure. A conversion seller also lists an Air Suspension Fault message and an overlong compressor run. Coilovers replace the air system, so you need a way to handle its warning light.

Before you install: Before ordering, ask us what the XJ kit needs to stop the air suspension fault message, and check the car's height sensors and lines.

Worn lower wishbone bushings
XF, 2008 to 2015

One XF owner on Jag-Lovers chased a bad rear squeak that only stopped when he replaced the rear lower wishbones, whose fluid filled inner bushings were worn. TrueDelta owner reports list worn, torn or seized control arm bushings, front and rear, on 2009 to 2011 cars. Coilovers will not cure a squeak from tired bushings.

Before you install: Check the lower wishbone bushings and anti-roll bar mounts while the car is apart, and replace worn arms before the alignment.

F-TYPE history

The F-TYPE followed the E-Type

When the F-TYPE was revealed in Paris in September 2012, Autoblog's Chris Paukert wrote that the car "picks up the long-dormant mantle of the legendary E-Type".

  1. 2012
    ParisRevealed at the Musée Rodin ahead of the Paris Motor Show, Autoblog reported.
  2. 50 years
    A long waitAutoblog noted Jaguar had gone about 50 years without a new sports car of this kind.

Dampers, the F-Type R and front mounts

Which kit suits an F-TYPE with electronic dampers?

KW has a kit for F-Type and F-Type S RWD cars with electronic damper control that includes a cancellation kit, and one for cars without. Both exclude the F-Type R. BC's F-TYPE kit names do not mention dampers, so call us first.

Is there a kit for the F-Type R?

KW's kits leave it out. BC's AWD and RWD F-TYPE kit names do not mention the R, so call us before ordering.

What is the front fork or eyelet mount on the S-Type, XF and XE?

Ksport names its kits by the type of front lower mount the car came with. On the S-Type it sells one kit for each type. Check your car, or call us and we will help.

Can I get coilovers for an XJ or XK?

Yes. BC makes Jaguar coilovers for both: XJ RWD for 2003 to 2009 and XK/XKR RWD for 2007 to 2014.

Which BC Racing series can I get for a Jaguar?

All six BC Jaguar kits come in BR or DS.

What warranty comes with a BC Jaguar kit?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. KW and Ksport publish their own.
