Just fitted onto my V8 Vantage :
- a complete CCM Vanquish brake system with PAGID RSC1 pads and Brake Caliper Stud conversion,
- a GT12 center wheel lock system,
- a Nitron NT R1 Suspension kit.
Nice choice with the Nitrons. I have them on my Lotus and they're great. They accomplish the seemingly opposite effects of both flatter cornering but more compliant in impacts. The CCM brakes should help ride and grip too. The unfortunate thing is doing both the shocks and brakes at the same time won't let you know what the effects are of each.

You're right, but I was lazy about installing the shocks, driving and then taking the car apart again for the brakes...
Just picked up my DB9 after installing Velocity’s air-box delete kit and having an ECU upgrade. Pretty convinced this is low hanging fruit for noticeable improvements to the car. It feels (and sounds!) like a completely different car. The air intake has a deep “whoooomp” sound when accelerating. It’s really nice. And the ECU upgrade completely changed the car’s performance. That one should be considered non-negotiable for all DB9’s.

Nice, I did the same, I also added the VelocityAP Super Sport Exhaust w/Secondary cat delete, now it sounds amazing between the intake and exhaust, it sounds better than my friends Audi R8!
I ordered many different cup holders from all over but this was the only one that fit the space and was aesthetically pleasing. I wrapped the base in leather to keep it in place and flowing with the interior. Cheers
Don’t know yet. Before the complete rebuild for forced induction it was putting out 600rwhp on a dynojet. Search my posts from years ago.
Do you know if they still offer the kit? I am pulling the trigger on the GMR system, however I would prefer a centrifugal set up. I have owned Paxtons in the past. Searched for another option and came up dry.

They don’t make it any longer. It wouldn’t be hard for a good shop to fab up a system. The hard part is being able to tune it. It took me years to reverse engineer the code and reprogram it properly. The stock engine will not reliably live above 525 hp and 425 lbft torque. The rear two cylinders are the vulnerable ones.
I always thought the stock quad exhaust tips were too small and didn't look right with the aggressive rear diffuser of the New Vantage. Luckily VelocityAP make larger quad exhaust tips that are a direct bolt on replacement. They cost a lot more than the exhaust tips you find at AutoZone but I think they're worth it.
