One of the aspects that puts me off the new Vantage is the suspension stiffness, I know this is subjective but I believe it is too stiff for most UK roads compared to the competition. The reviews on the Roadster suggest that the suspension has been programmed differently and rides much better (same hardware). Makes me wonder if it is possible to update the Coupe suspension to the Roadster spec? I know this is being done with GT3 to copy the better resolved ST suspension (in the UK Litchfield offer it). Maybe Aston is too niche for an aftermarket tuner to bother, would be great if the factory offered it to broaden the car's appeal.

I'd guess putting the Roadster tune into a Coupe might not give the results you'd want. Traditionally the Roadster has different roll bars, bushes and extra underbody stiffening to compensate for the lower torsional rigidity and extra weight over the rear axle
