No probs, from what I know, the revised DB7 volante after '96 had suspension specifically made for it, to deliver a more consistent and feasibly linear power delivery, it was softer than the standard 7 (of which had its own suspension design with Bilstein shocks, iirc it only shared the floorpan of the XJS).

So to summarise, the DB7's (at least after '96) do not share suspension with the Jag, and the Volante has different suspension to the coupe as far as I know.

As for breakers, I found a few specialists that may help:

Surely you'd have to be mad to buy such critical 2nd hand parts!
