Hi All, Just out of interest I have definitely got a pair KYB springs, RA 1370. (with new KYB dampers to match) Ride 4.1 inches.
For comparison my Jag XF ride height is 5.3 inches to the engine under tray. Found my old unbroken red spring measures 285 mm at the longest on the bench after being fitted in 2000 and taken off end 2018…….! (dia 10.5mm thick coil) Seems very close to the KYB? Happy drumming Chris.
