Im thinking to lower my DBS but not too aggressive, anyone here know what is the best way?

 

Best way would be a threaded coil cover setup, this allows you to ajust the height you prefer but does cost $$$$. The much cheaper way that is common and still safe is aftermarket coil spring which will set you to a non adjustable lowered height.

 

Simply don't do it as it will compromise the ride/handling and make it annoying to live with what with the constant front-end scraping and ultimate damage to your front spoiler. The DB9 looks perfectly fine the way it is. Stop obsessing over that aspect of your car and enjoy the ride.

 

Solution...stop thinking about it.

 

DBS is fine the way it is, same thing for a DB9 with sport Pack. These are suspensions designed around the car and the chassis, and the components are meant to work together., leave it alone, it's a tuned suspension and meant to be the height it is from the factory.

 

Agree with the advice against lowering. Don't do it. Not only will you scrape the nose on everything, but I'd also worry about messing with the adaptive damping system in the DBS.

 

^^^ Agree with all the above. More hassle than it's worth, and the car is low enough already IMHO.

 

I agree...just for comparizon sake my car is a DB9 (same body/chassis) with sport pack and 6 speed manual. The suspension is sport pack, lowered springs, stiffer dampers, larger anti-roll bars etc...it sits perfectly and handles like it's on rails...

have a look...

 

What paradise do you live in that is free of pot holes, drains and speed bumps????


Please tell me!

My stock ride height Vantage will thank you!!!

 

I'm in the minority here but I lowered my DB9 with H&R springs mainly b/c it sits too high in stock form (mine has sport pack) for my taste. I don't track the car, drive spiritedly on the street; it doesn't ride overly stiff or rough, handles like a go-kart and I don't scrape the front. On my I-pad now or I'd post but a pic but you can find some if you search.

 

^^^ LR having the sport springs which are already lower then stock DB9 springs, then going to H&R what difference did you notice, like what was the delta in mm of drop from Sport springs to H&R? I know going from standard springs to H&R can be a bit of a difference, guessing maybe 3/4 of an inch or so, dunno what the delta between sport pack springs and H&R would be... I've wondered this just never had any info on it...thanks man

 

If memory serves, it was 1" rear and .75" front. I measured b/f and after, I'll look in my file and confirm.

 

H&R are known to have a stiff ride FYI. I have H&R's on my M5 and my wife hates it. Even though the drop looks perfect, I do admit the ride is a bit harsher.

 

Oh forgot as a side note, I would not do springs on the DBS as I'm sure it would effect the adaptive suspension system on the car.

 

Sunir-do you know the drop from stock to sport pack? I recently had my Vantage with sport pack put on a flatbed and the guy had trouble getting it on the bed with his long aluminum ramps without scraping.

This guy does all the high end cars in town and multiple Astons of every type and said mine was the lowest. Until then I had never realized the sport pack had dropped the car! Now I wonder by how much?
