vantage 4.3 coilovers

Hi guys, this is my first post so please be gentle!

I've had my vantage for 2 months now and i love it although i do want to lower it slightly and have a more compliant ride. I wanted to know if the kw coilover kit for the 4.7 would fit on the 4.3?are they the same part numbers?

I said i would not mod this car but the bug has started!

You won't get a more compliant ride in any case. From KW when I asked about stiffness vs stock,

"The kit will never be as soft as stock. Truly this is more of a subjective situation but from our development we know this system will have more aggressive spring and valve rates compared to the original equipment."

That's fair enough I used the v3's in my previous car and totally loved them over stock. I think I may have an underlying issue as to why my car feels very 'skittish' over rough roads.

i do know I have to change one front wheel bearing which I have ordered, but at the same time I've decided to get the drop links and track rod ends done as the car is on 60k miles.

is there anything else anyone would recommend to look at while I'm having this work done?

I would look into upper control arms as the bushings tend to move and cause noises.
