Hi,

Does anyone know where to source AM V8 DBS brake discs, caliper repair kits and suspension bush sets? I've seen some crazy prices.

Front and rear discs are bespoke so not cheap. There are some non semi-floating replacement rear discs which I run on my V8.

The front calipers were only used on Astons and 1970's Lambos. After market stainless pistons are available. Seal kit is not terribly expensive.

The rear calipers are modified Jaguer E-Type or XJ6. Rebuild kits easily available. Note the calipers have a distance piece inserted to accommodate the wider Aston vented discs.

The front suspension bushes are mainly Jaguar but I don't remember the genuine Aston ones being ludicrously expensive. The rear bushes are bespoke.
