Lowering springs for DB9/V8V

[stevewushu]

Thinking about dropping the ride height of my V8V by about 20mm or so. Are the H&R springs that are popular on the DB9 the same as for the Vantage?
I ask only because a colleague has HR springs on his DB9 but will be putting it back to normal before selling and has offered me his springs if they will fit my V8V?

Thoughts anyone?
Thank you!

Can't answer that, sorry. What I can tell you is that the DB9 H&R springs are fantatsic, transformed the drive and ride of the car!

Make sure someone who know what they're doing sorts your geometry afterwards though!

Steve - pose the question to Bamford Mike on his thread above

A quick Google suggests they have different part numbers and lower the DB9 by an inch and the Vantage by 0.75 of an inch. Likely not the same

Thank you chaps. It does seem that they will be different as the weight of either car is different (and distributed differently) so the spring tension as it were has to be suited to the correct vehicle.
Shame as it could have saved me a spend! But I'll still get the correct ones nonetheless.

Saw a beautiful DB9 parked up near my V8V this evening. Made me sorely tempted to consider......no I couldn't possibly....or could I? :-)

Give a sports pack manual a try... You'll be pleasantly shocked
