Which brand? Is it for the v12 model? Do you have the specs?

Not for the V12. Not sure what the difference would be, if any. They are H&R I believe. Bought them from a fellow 6speeder who never installed, and I have never installed. lol
RSC or the dealer should be able to tell you if they fit.

Hi Markesq,
I am newbie on the forum and in the Aston world. Got my V8 4.3L 2007 about 8 months ago and was thinking putting on wheel spacers and lowering springs. Understood you've considered and / or done this with your car. Would welcome any advice as to why you did or did not go for this solution and if it modifies the equilibrium of the car or affects the suspension. Would also welcome any pictures before / after especially on a profile / lateral view. Many thanks for your help. Cheers.

The V12V is already "lowered".

Hi Everyone,

Have been corresponding with the folks at Nitron and after some investigation we are confident that we can supply our coilover kit (street or full race) to fit the V12 Vantage. Spring rates will be adjusted suitably to compensate for the extra weight, and slight shift forward in weight distribution. No cost change to the V8 units.

These are of course fully ride height adjustable through quite a broad range of settings.
