This set of 4 VelocityAP lowering springs for the Jaguar F-Type reduces the vehicle's ride height by 7/8", or 22 mm.
VelocityAP springs exclusively use high-quality, high-stress X5K Spring Steel. Although considerably more expensive than regular steel, this new-generation steel allows VelocityAP to further improve upon the original Jaguar F-Type spring design by reducing the amount of steel required in a spring. VelocityAP springs are therefore substantially lighter, by approximately 30%, and reduce the solid height, thereby increasing travel. X5K Spring Steel is used in almost all top levels of motorsport, providing a hugely successful endorsement of its characteristics and proven durability.
In addition to the superior materials, these springs feature a unique manufacturing process that sets them apart from most OEM and aftermarket applications: a Tapered Wire Progressive Rate design. The principle is simple: by using tapered rather than constant-diameter spring wire, VelocityAP springs achieve a truly progressive spring rate over the length of their compression and travel. The spring rate increases when needed during cornering and decreases when it is not, yielding a smooth and supple ride over bumpy surfaces.
By using this unique manufacturing method, VelocityAP can achieve a substantial increase in spring rate with significant handling benefits and no loss of ride comfort. As the spring de-rates, the shock absorber no longer struggles for rebound control, improving vehicle stability.
