As I said before, it's slightly noticeable but not significantly terrible to be a deal breaker.

Here's side profile picture for height reference:

The rear spring perches were made my a local San Diego shop, ACG Automotive (6SPD Sponsor). It was pretty much trial and error at first. They measured the circumference of the shock above the perch where the spring sits. Then they had CNC aluminum cut in 1/4" increments to adjust for height as necessary. In the end, I didn't ask specifically how much spacer was inserted (I wanna say 1/2" or maybe 3/4" or so, but don't hold me to it), inevitably it worked out.

I believe they kept the measurements and design template on file in the event another Aston owner needed the same, but not sure how applicable they would be among other AM models. If you want, I would give them a call ask for James and reference the V12 Vantage with spring spacers.

Good luck.

I think there is a substantial difference between the two styles you posted. I debated myself 5 spoke versus 7 spoke from ADV.1 until I now have finally decided on the "old" 5 spoke (the right photo).

I am currently trying to complete the spec and pricing so I can get these ordered from Alex at Tagmotorsports, the ADV.1 dealer.

Which design do you guys prefer? I am doing a graphite gray with a machined 'stainless steel" face.

The one on the right. Graphite. NO machined face...unless "cheap" is the look you were going for ;)

Jeff, just sent you a PM. Let me know if you didn't get it. :)
