I Lowered My Cheap Aston Martin For $3,000 And I Didn't Expect It To Be This Good

I installed around $3000 worth of new, adjustable suspension onto my cheapo Aston Martin V8 Vantage, and now it's scary good. (Pricing was not final when video was made, price is higher than stated in video. Also, apologies for the blurry focus, I'm apparently new at this.)

I must be getting old or something, but I think that car looked better at the stock ride height. Lowered like that, the wheels don't look like they are correctly proportioned to the wheel arches.
you don't tune up high-end cars like Aston Martin...
The back end looks fine i think, its mostly the front end is a bit too low it should be propped back up maybe half an inch
Pierre Sept Astons are born to be tuned and raced. Keeping them stock goes against everything the company stands for. The more and Aston looks like it belongs at lemans the better.
Oh dear. The gap is now asymmetric. Not good.
I just lowered my $36,000 Aston Martin for $3,000 which I installed a $3,600 exhaust on so that I can park it behind my cheap $8,900 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG that I just fixed for $20 which was worth $130,000 in 2006 which is parked adjacent to my cheap $7,500 F350 dually and is under my $5,000 lift that I installed next to my cheap $1,000 Ford Mustang that I added a $1,000 nitrous kit to so that I can park my cheap $3,000 S class next to it without cluttering my garage.
Your a genius
Ogrodii you're*
greatest comment ive ever seen
Dude, you should have left it alone, it was fine the way it is
I think this looked way better stock...
Hope it rides better, because the stock stance is really the best look. You can always raise the car back with this new suspension.
Glad you're happy with it! The production version will have a few important changes to it so it'll be even better and address the access issues for the damping adjustment knobs ;)
Personally think its too low at the front. Looks worse
I agree with you.
Yeah, just a hair too low, though i suspect it looks great IRL. What really doesn't look great is the protective film on the side skirts..
AliveGhost13 yeah, he should have only did .5" like he said at first, not .75"
Its adjustable, so he can always raise it if he doesn't like it.
Completely agree. It looks worse now.
I think it looked better with the stock suspension. The gap is unequal and the front end looks like you've blown your struts. The rear end looks fine.
Fuck, I skipped forward and was wondering why he wasn't showing the aston anymore. I thought it was the interior of a Chrysler 300
Haha I know 561 really well. And the Aston looks like it was moving pretty decent on there. Looking good.
I've had BC on two different cars now and they are fantastic.
I agree 💯! This looked perfect the way it was..
HI Tavarish
Just to advice you that please don't put spacers on the wheels as they will have detrimental loss of strength on the wheel bearings they will also have less lever strength which in turn will snap the wheel off.
Just some helpful advice.

Those front mud flaps make it look cheap. Like a a country truck on a pigs farm
I personally think it's too low. It looks like the shocks are busted. I'd say raise it a bit
looks like shit afterwards m8. probably worth 2000$ at the moment.
Gotta agree with all those who've said the front is too low for aesthetics, but it probably does improve handling in corners. As for pushing the wheels out towards the edge of the wheel wells, definitely pick up some wider and lighter wheels with the corresponding rubber.
Brother, what you needed wasn't suspension but a fresh haircut! lol
David Y I got one! this video was a month in the making. I also changes clothes 3 times.
Hahah nice! I've been to FL a few times and yes for this Canadian boy to face that humid/hot weather.. I do believe you change that often! :D
Bro nice mod! Next you need lambo doors, a badass wing, and carbon fiber hood!
I put a set of bc racing coil overs on my 91 MR2. I really like the ride and how well they have held up. I run mine on the softest setting the winter and the middle setting in the summer.
I actually live in Clermont not far from 561 and if you want to drive a fun road go to 455 through montverde and ferndale you won't regret it.
I'm torn. I want to do wheels and tires...but don't want it to look like a roller skate. So I thought to lower it a bit.. but not sure I like how it looks. Decisions, decisions....
Please tell me they actually modeled that suspension based on the corner weights, desired frequency, trave,=l, flat ride, etc. and did not just slap something together like how their kits normally are done. I could never imagine spending 3K for a suspension that is 1K for almost any other platform. And why the hell didn't they use swift springs?
stock height with spacers would be the best choise on these cars
That suspension is gonna settle a little lower in a couple of days. How easy is adjusting the damp/ride height? Can you do it without taking off the wheels?
Looks worse.
"its more of a weekend GT cruiser"......installs lowered suspension
Freddy: looks like you need wheel spacers to bring the wheels out more flush with the fender... also is there a lot of rear camber now? Or just the lense?
why the hell would you lower that, its was designed around that height, your mudflaps will become scrapflaps.
That road looked pretty sweet. Check out Ozello Trail on your way to Peck's Old Port Cove for another amazing driving road in Florida
Ahh man that E90 M3 though... Looks good man, get some spacers on to get those wheels flush and it will look sweet.
Looks like it needs a slightly softer rebound for road use.
Tav I love your vids, u r a true petrol head not afraid of doing mods because YOU want to enjoy your motors to the max, keep it up man ATB
I guess I was the only one who thought that was Evans SC when they were taking the Vantage out of the garage
Get some HRE rims like mine..... take a peak but I only have one video showing them. But your race shop should be able to get some specs and you can avoid spacers and decrease unsprung rotational mass which increases my acceleration and REALLY improves breaking.... holy crap it stops on a dime.
Sounds great 7 love the 6 speed bro
Screw everyone else i like it lol. Plus it is nice to see an Aston that might look a bit different. End of the day it is up to you. Also they are not exactly cheapo ebay coilovers
How does the Aston Martin race team adjust their suspension settings on their race cars ?
Tavarish when are u going to be making a s class daily driver
Update video again I am missing you upgrading It plzzz
So lemme get this straight: You bought $8900 worth of suspension parts to lower your $3000 Aston Martin Vantage SL55 AMG?
Poor tavarish, everyone is hating on his car.
@tavarish we need those truck updates m8.. and I'm from the uk, never seen a truck like that but I'm really interested to know what you did with it
Which car impressed you more? The Aston or the Merc? Say they had equal value, which would be the keeper? Thanks!
i think he would choose the sl55
I remember wheelgaps, it was a long time ago.
Did you change the front discs and new pads?
Thought you were finishing the s500 first
Love the vids mate keep up the good work!
hey did u keep the old spring set up ? and does putting spacers affect driveability?
Hey Tavarish, was it a cash or credit purchase? Thanks man. Great video. Sweet car. Drove it twice in my life, amazing car.
You should rebuild your brakes and paint the calipers and the wheels
not worth the $3000 good video tho, how much did you get your Aston Martin?
usually I am quite quick to point out his obvious and many fails...but this one looks ok IMHO...the wells may look a little too wide at the very bottom now...but overall pretty good.
big ,T your my hero!
dude, make the vids shorter, also i dont like the rims on the aston
I was looking forward to seeing Taylor Ray or Marco lol.
Now i remember why i didn't sub to this channel.
tavarish, next time edit the speedo because i can see you doing 82 miles/hour
5:04 oh youre kinky LOL
Cheap Aston? Didn't know it was $8,900.. damn cuz
Lowering is almost always a bad idea...always some over enthused new owner who basically knows next to nothing about cars but does typical mods to impress...Factory especially the high end brands already dialed in the perfect mix but listen to this fool...omg this is so cool so engaging, then that the moron he bought it from later completely regrets everything and sells the car in shame and move on to another and repeat the process.
He is such a dad
Good job mate. Own a 2011 Vantage here in Switzerland 🇨🇭🌞
when a collb with talyor ray??
10:40 we can read your spedo, mate :D
Needs spacers bad!
That hair surely grows really fast.
does it bottom out because of the weight?
want a set of ace alloys w/tires for pretty cheap?
What year is that Aston Martin?
I don't think it looks bad, but give that poor car a bath, looks so dirty.
I love it
U have a very positive outlook in life
Does It Have A Bumper To Bumper Warranty?
So that car has now suspension to suspension warranty?
New wheels and maybe a repaint?
3k and it doesn't even come with swift springs. should of got the inverted shocks version too
Get wheels with a nice offset, dont use spacers, because right way,
You mean....changing the suspension AND lowering made the car handle better. Fam, y u only talking about the lowering aspect?
looking at the comments... that poor company invested 3k to promote this
Did you meet Marco?
This is a $100.000 car here in Norway! :(
Beautiful car!
How much did u get the aston for?
And that, will definitely violate the bumper to bumper warranty.
"im just a complete cheese ball right now" -Tavarish 2017
You could have made two videos out of this bro?
Nooooooo! I am glad you are happy with it but in my opinion it looked better before.
The speedometer still not working :(
they didn't corner balance the car with scale's
OK but will it drift?
Going to be a bitch to adjust these later. This guy just likes working harder
Ehm is this E90 with E92 headlights????
Next project: "Lowering my 200 000 USD Veyron"
That looks bad. It's too low in front--the gap in front of and behind the tire is now huge since there's no gap above the tire.
How cheap was it?
But how much did you pay for your Mercedes?
curious what you think of the sl600 and the V12 motors?...thx
geep henry expensive to maintain but very reliable, and only the twin turbo!
Thanks Notorious!
It's got the same ABC suspension as the SL55, so that can be troublesome if neglected. The engine is fairly reliable, with the only real faults being the $1500 coil packs (2 per engine). Having a twin-turbo V12 is pretty awesome though, those engines can be tuned to well over 600hp easily.
I bet he put some 20$ obd connecting device to his car and it lowered itself
So I Cheaped my $8,900 Aston Martin for a Mercedes and I fixed it myself for $3,000 on my SL55 AMG $20.
All this for 3/4"... at least they gave it to you instead of wasting 3k...
Please do wheels!
