2015-2017 V12 Vantage S - Lowering Options

Hi Folks- I'm not seeing any springs or coilover options for the 2015-2017 V12 Vantage S. Is anyone aware of products available on the market? Checked with H&R and VAP and neither have availability for 2015-2017 model years.

Tks.

If you checked with the US sources I would try https://www.valiant-ecosse.com/ next.
they seem to be in the know a far bit on track built AMs otherwise someone in the UK like Bamford Rose would know.

I just fitted BC Racing Coilovers with Swift springs to my 06 V8V and they are available for 05-17 Vantage here. https://shop.bcracing-na.com/product...19636165771352

Unless the design of the V12 is significantly different, you may want to give them a call. (I am a newbie to the AM world, so excuse the ignorance if they are different).

The spring rates have to be different. I have asked BC before.

I could be wrong but was ADS available on 2015 to 2017 V8 Vantages? That's the system I am worried about. Even Nitron doesn't have an answer how to "delete" the system with their kit. Driving around with a warning light can be annoying.

Got it, BC has a plethora of spring rates, that could work, but ADS is a whole nother story.

Tried the VAP springs from the earlier V12 pre-15 and they didn’t fit unfortunately. The car is low enough but the wheel gap is unsightly. Any ideas would be super helpful? Is H&R going to offer a fitment? Surely there is a solution.
