Something strange for me, on astonmartintechinfo :
- 4G43-5494-AB DB9 Std,
- 6G33-5494-AB DB9 Sportspack & V8V Std

So I don't understand why :
the DB9 Std become the sportspack for the V8V,
while the DB9 Sportspack become Std in the V8V ?

Bruno-where did you find the OEM spring rates and in particular the sport pack at 531/590? Stuart had told me the sport pack setup was 411/457.

DoubleClutch88 is an unknown quantity at this point
Reviving this thread once more...

I have a 2007 4.3 Vantage Coupe non Sportspack and purchased the Sportspack anti-roll bars (6G33 front, 8D33 rear) for better roll control. I figured the front 6G33 bar would be thicker than my current stock bar, but it seems to be thinner (25.9 mm is what I measured).

Is this correct? (Sportspack has a thinner front antiroll bar) Seems counterintuitive to me, but the OP info appears to confirm this...
