CoilOver PCD Change in MY09+ V8 Vantage Coupe?

[roderic]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can help confirm.
Changing over coil over's in my 2008 (MY09) V8 Coupe, I picked up a set of RCS Tuning (Nitron)'s from a 2008 MY08 but it seems the PCD's are different?
They are a couple of mm different on the fronts, we were able to make the rear's fit but as there is the strut brace in the front it makes it harder.
Can someone confirm that the bolt patten changed in the MY09+?

Thanks
Roderic

sorry if this is a stupid question but are they symmetrical or are the studs offset around the radial axis of the top mount?

I can't imagine they changed that?? Am not convinced the damper set up changed at all between MY08 and MY09.

Edited to add - you're moving from OEM dampers to aftermarket. I suspect that's more likely the issue than a MY change...

Hey Rod,

I sent a reply to your email, not sure you got it? I confirmed with Nitron that they are different. Since the set you purchased from another Vantage owner were built for a different model year car, you'll need to swap out the top mount. Nitron are going to run some off for you ASAP.
