Coilovers for V12s????? Other lowering Options?
Hello - I just purchased a 2015 Vantage V12s and wanted to put a set of coilovers on it to get it lower to the ground and put a set of HREs or ADV1s to compliment the stance.
From the small amount of digging I have done it appears that most of the suspension upgrades are only listed as compatible with the V8 Vantages. Does anyone know what kit will work on the V12s? I'm looking for and OEM style that will allow me to use the factory adjusting button for sport/track mode. Is there an option to just change the spring height on the factory setup if an aftermarket coilover isn't available?

Just my 2 cents. The V12 vantage is already very low to the ground (3") and it would be pretty scary to be any lower.
I know if I run into an unexpected speed bump I usually turn around if I can as I did scrape the bottom once on a very low grade curb. I was probably going 3 mph or less and hit it at the best angle I could. If it was any lower I would paranoid all the time.
Just my opinion. I have 2011 V12 Vantage so maybe the 2015 has a height adjustment or something to help that I am unaware of. I would just put a few miles on it and see what kind of bumps and inclines you encounter and make sure you don't have any issues and go from there.

I'm pretty sure it will take the same front spring as DBS/Vanquish, and V8 Sportpack rear but we just need to test it.

I’m waiting for RedPants to release his coilover setup for my 2012 V12V; looks to be a great setup at very reasonable price.

I would trust Stuart as well with this project - He has springs and a Nitron Coilover Option - I went with the Coilovers on my V8VS and Stuart was a great help with the process
