V12 Vantage lowering

Hi all,

New here and trying to research options to lower my car.

How have owners found lowering springs?

Do the shocks have adjustable spring platforms so I can lower on the current setup?

Thanks!

This is the only lowered setup I've seen using all stock parts (on a DBS). I assume you could do the same thing with a V12V? Just don't make the grooves too deep

Nice work!

Your thread made me look at a pic of the shock absorber for the v12v.

I think it already has the grooves for the spring perch at a lower position, see below!
