XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Jaguar S-TYPE (Fr EYE) 1999-2008

The Jaguar S-Type carries genuine weight – both literally and in the way it loads its front axle into a corner – and that mass is exactly what the XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover is set up to manage. Drop a saloon this size onto worn-out OEM struts and you feel every kilo of the front-mounted V6 or V8 push wide on turn-in; the Street Advanced gives you the spring rate and damper authority to settle that nose and actually use the chassis the way the Ford DEW98 underpinnings always promised.

This is XYZ’s most popular kit and it is built for owners who use their S-Type as a real car – daily commute one day, a spirited B-road run the next, the occasional track day after that. It is a 32-valve cruiser that wants to be a sports saloon, and this is the coilover that lets it behave like one.

What this coilover does for your 1999-2008 Jaguar S-Type

Ride height comes down into a stance that finally suits the S-Type’s long bonnet, and more importantly the centre of gravity drops with it – so the body roll that plagues these saloons through fast sweepers is brought back under control. The 720-way damping range means you can run the kit soft enough to absorb a poorly surfaced UK A-road one weekend, then firm it up for a circuit session the next without ever touching a spanner to the spring perches. Brake dive on the front EYE-mount struts is noticeably reduced, which gives you cleaner trail-braking into roundabouts and a far more progressive weight transfer mid-corner. Steering response sharpens because the front suspension is no longer collapsing under load, and the rear stops squatting under the V8’s torque on corner exit. The result is a Jaguar that feels its size less and rewards you for driving it properly.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is the kit XYZ Racing’s professional team have developed and refined over years, validated through testing in international racing series before being released as a road-and-track product. It offers 720 damping adjustment positions across a single combined bump-and-rebound circuit, giving owners a genuinely usable working range from compliant fast-road to firm track-day settings. The spring rates and damper valving are specified for street use first, with circuit capability built in – so the kit is comfortable on real roads rather than punishingly stiff like a pure motorsport setup. Construction follows XYZ’s standard format with full ride-height adjustment independent of preload, allowing you to corner-balance the car without losing damper stroke. It is positioned by XYZ as essential equipment for drivers who want pace and control without giving up the comfort that makes a Jaguar saloon worth owning.

Fitment for the Jaguar S-Type (1999-2008)

This kit fits the original S-Type saloon on chassis JA01-1 with the front EYE-mount strut configuration, covering production from 1999 through to the model’s 2008 run-out. Confirm your front strut top mounting style matches the EYE variant before ordering – the S-Type was offered with more than one front mount type across its production life and the wrong call here means the part will not bolt up.
