If you're running stock 19's W/O a drop, 11mm spacers on the rear give it a much better OEM look. It's not all the way flush, but it brings it to typical "OEM flush" if that makes any sense, whereas the before was under and just way too noticeably sunken in.

These are not the best pictures to show off the flushness, but it gives you a general idea of how they'd look from typical viewing distances.

I have a brand new set of H&R spacers for sale. See link below.
I got them for my Vantage but these should fit a DB9 as well. Willing to make a deal if you are interested.
Thanks

2004 (production no. 311) DB9 on H&R springs and with 13mm front and 18mm rear spacers with longer studs and zero wheel well rub. I initially used adapters at the rear but the flex on them scared me, thus I went with longer threaded studs.



It's been properly polished since

Do you have the part numbers for the Bilsteins? When I go on the Bilstein website they don’t list any options for the DB9.

Just get the VelocityAP springs OR get a set of coilover adjustables. IMHO the other companies springs lower them too much.

ALSO-----get a set of BC Forged wheels and have them set to the correct offset. SPecers are ok if new studs are installed, but why not do it right and get wheels to correct the offset and get the 20" wheels which look a ton better on the car. Pics below, same wheels and springs, but different looks.
