    Aftermarket LS Parts!

    Hi Stu, my late son loved watching (and showing me) the video of the Drift Taxi. With all the suspension parts you're showing maybe what our LS needs may be up your alley, namely either LS sport shocks or Jaguar sport springs. Ours is a 2000 V6 LS Sport manual.

    Bilstein conversion or this?

    I looked hi & lo for new Jag sport springs to no avail, even traveled to Harry's of Hazelton to see a 2000 S Type, it had a V8 (our is a 6 manual) and wires running into the shock's top stud. I was trying to amass parts for a suspension rebuild while parts were still available, obviously, I'm...

    Manual 5 speed owners?

    Years ago I worked for Synthes (twice), at that time, experience showed that Stainless could cause strokes and titanium was harmless. When I busted my elbow roller skating in 2002 I insisted on titanium hardware. When I came to after surgery, the surgeon informed me that not only did he use only...

    Manual 5 speed owners?

    Nooooo... A late Neighbor of mine actually found someone that repairs that kind of stuff. I don't remember the place of business anymore, it was a long time ago, But I do remember that he found them under 'Radio Repair, Automotive' in the Yellow Pages. Try an internet search with a similar...

    What did you do to your LS today?

    Pedal pads came yesterday and they looked very familiar, they are same as the ones on our manual Escort. No surprise there! The cup holder with door came during the night, it was on the steps this morning. Pleasant surprise, it's not midnight black, it's dark charcoal, same as our interior. AWESOM!

    LSE-4_LYFE, I was talking about the inside of the car...and those lug nut covers. Really do like the color though.

    Manual 5 speed owners?

    I like the color, but that is one ugly car. Reminds me of the way one of our Escorts looked when I bought it. I keep a list of everyone on the site that mentions owning a manual LS, it currently has 15 names on it. But I have to give an honorable mention to my brother's manual LS in Oregon...

    What did you do to your LS today?

    I'm a day late again. Just realized that I don't get on the computer on the same days that I work on the cars. Anyway, yesterday I went to Harry's of Pennsburg and scored an '06 front bumper and a pair of waaay under there splash shields. The bumper is something that our late son wanted for the...

    What did you do to your LS today?

    Went on another online spending spree, though not as big as the one I went on in December. I bought a pair of rear lower control arms and shifter seals from Jaguar.oempartsonline.com, a set of clutch screws, and a hydraulic hose/tube (so I will now have all the parts for a clutch job) and a set...

    Bilstein conversion or this?

    It's a miracle! I got it! I was talking about the wrong part. Our car is a 2000 V6 with a manual transmission. I did try to find the earlier thread and instead found your inquiry on the Jaguar site from years ago. I WILL take your advice about the springs because 1) I hate Springs, 2) I'm a tool...

    Manual 5 speed owners?

    A month ago I ordered a flywheel from Terry'sjag.com for $700 (almost as much as the $750 my son and I paid for the car five years ago). I received it a couple of weeks ago. They also have Getrag transmissions listed for $4000

    Bilstein conversion or this?

    I'm back after an 8 day absence, Happy New Year Everyone. 04_Sport_LS, thank you for your patience with me. Maybe I'm asking the question wrong. I want to put the Bilstein shocks on the front of my LS. to do this I need the Jaguar springs and what else?

    Bilstein conversion or this?

    Okay, I now know where the top shock plate comes from, but where is it installed up front? I'm guessing between the Bilstein shock and the shock tower.

    Bilstein conversion or this?

    I got a question for the guys who have done the Bilstein conversion. Can the the top shock plate needed for the front come off the rear shock that is being replaced? I'm not clear about where the top shock plate is coming from (is it coming from the rear shock or is it part of the car?). I am...

    What did you do to your LS today?

    Hi Buckie, I see easily broken, hard to find slash shields/inner fenders, a license plate bracket (a hard to find item in PA, since we don't have front plates, everyone takes them off and tosses them), a hard to find front bumper cover from a LSE/'06 (no lights?), an engine cover, and is that a...
