Belstein Coil Overs for V8 Vantage

Planning to take my Vantage Roadster out on the track this season. Does anyone know if Belstein makes a PSS10 equivalent for the V8 Vantage. Suggestions on any other brands with equivalent suspension upgrades ?

I have a set of factory ones from the n400 with under 1000 miles on them that I would sell you.

I would be interested but I'm looking for full adjustability including ride height like the PSS9 and 10's. Are the factory ones from your n400 capable of the same and why did you replace them. I would be interested in your sway bars also, I know the N400 came with beefed up sway bars.

I am using my bar.

They are not adjustable. From my research you would have to have a custom make coil-over to get what you desire.

I replaced them to lower the ride height. They worked great, I just like the look of the lowered car.

Bilstein doesn't make any coil-overs for this car.

The only kit I know of is this one from ESX which uses Ohlins shocks:

Aston Martin has their sport suspension kit if you don't already have that, and H&R makes springs. I have the H&R springs with stock shocks and it's a good compromise. Prodrive has a suspension kit but it's not available in the US. RSC also sells a springs kit.

The fronts are easy, the rears take some time removing/replacing interior parts.

Sternsn, I noticed that you upgraded your front brakes. Do you track your car ? I have head of guys smoking their stock brakes on the track with the Aston. Was this the reason you upgraded yours ?
