Does the Nitron NTR-R1 coilover kit fit all Aston Martin V8 Vantage model years?

The Nitron NTR-R1 coilover kit is confirmed to fit the Aston Martin V8 Vantage from 2006 to 2018. If you're unsure about your specific build date or variant, we are happy to assist.

What spring rate options are available for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage NTR-R1 kit?

Two specs are recommended by Nitron and offered as standard options. The Fast Road Spec runs 375lbs/inch (66N/mm) front and 425lbs/inch (74N/mm) rear. The Track Day Spec steps up to 575lbs/inch (101N/mm) front and 625lbs/inch (109N/mm) rear. Custom spring rates are also available; contact us directly for a consultation.

How does the 2-way combined damping adjustment work?

The NTR-R1 uses a single adjuster controlling both bump and rebound together across 24 clicks of combined adjustment. This keeps setup straightforward without sacrificing the ability to meaningfully tune the damping character for different road conditions or track surfaces.

Are droplinks included with the kit?

No, droplinks are not included. The kit consists of four coilovers and top mounts covering front and rear, with precision bearing spacers supplied as required.

Is the Nitron NTR-R1 serviceable after purchase?

Yes. Every NTR-R1 kit is fully serviceable. Nitron hand-builds each unit to order, and the design supports long-term maintenance rather than requiring full replacement when performance eventually needs refreshing.

Description

Nitron NTR-R1 Coilover Kit for Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2006-2018)

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a proper sports car with a chassis that responds well to being pushed, but the factory suspension holds back what the platform can actually do when the road gets demanding or a track day exposes the real capability underneath. The Nitron NTR-R1 coilover kit addresses that directly with precision-engineered, combined 2-way damping adjustment drawn from the R3 race platform, sharing core components with a kit developed for professional competition. There’s no remote canister to work around, and every unit is hand-built with ultra-low friction components that keep damping consistent and fade-resistant from the street to the circuit. Hard-anodised titanium finish parts and high-grade materials keep corrosion out and weight in check, and with each kit custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable, it’s built to last well beyond a single season.

Unique Technology

Nitron builds every shock from precision components that go through a thorough design and development process long before final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the room to develop each application properly on its own terms, without cutting corners on part quality or how components perform together under real load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and inspected individually by trained technicians; that quality control runs through every stage of production, not just the end of it. New materials, finishes, and processes are validated extensively before adoption, with proprietary Nitron technologies integrated throughout to produce shocks that consistently outlast and outperform competing options on road and track. That standard of engineering is what the brand’s reputation has been built on.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t reach for a generic damper and rework the valving to suit. Every application goes through a dedicated development process where components, spring rates, and damping characteristics are engineered around the specific platform from the start. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of the vehicle are built into the design before anything else, not factored in as corrections later. That’s what sets a kit engineered for a car apart from one that was simply built to fit the same category.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
