Hard or Soft! Molly can choose!

Drove to London and back yesterday . 300 and odd miles, first proper drive of the year. As an aside 25 MPG and 62MPH average which included venturing into the centre of the city..

Nobody could deny that the standard suspension on the V8S is a little on the firm side. Not so now cos we have BR's switchable version. The car now feels like a long legged GT aka DB9 but a flick of the switch turns it back into a very serious sports car with measurably better handling . Any pogoing of the rear end has now gone . It feels limpet like. A subtle lowering also means that the overall look has been changed for in my opinion a bit more visual aggression .

To anyone out there with a Vantage I cannot recommend the conversion enough .
Cheers Bamford Mike

Yep - thanks for the switchable suspension Dr Mike The journey to Geneva is going to be a lot more comfortable this time

Couldn't agree more. My DB9 has been transformed in soft mode for long journeys

I have a bad back but when I got out of the car after I had picked it up, following a near on two hour drive I had no back pain on standing up.

The rest of he BR work is still new and I guess a fuller evaluation will be more appropriate following the Geneva trip.

Having had it back for four days, the early thoughts are"what an amazing transformation in all respects"

I completely concur with your findings.
The switchable suspension on my V8V is fantastic
