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

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a sports car that’s just as at home on a challenging road as it is on a circuit, and the Nitron RoadSport coilover kit for the 2006-2018 Vantage is built to reflect that. It’s developed for owners who want a genuine handling improvement without giving up the ride quality and refinement that make the car enjoyable to drive every day. The kit retains the OEM top mounts to preserve factory levels of comfort and noise isolation, and runs without a remote canister to keep the installation clean and straightforward. Every unit is hand-built with ultra-low friction components for consistent, fade-resistant damping across a wide and easy to use adjustment range, so the Vantage responds better on a demanding road without becoming punishing on the commute. Ultra high-grade materials and hard-anodised titanium finish parts keep corrosion out and weight down, and each kit is custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable; built to hold up not just season after season, but through the kind of year-round use that includes harsh winter conditions.

Nitron Spring Upgrade

• The Nitron Spring Upgrade for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is built for owners who want to sharpen the car’s road manners and bring the ride height down without committing to a full coilover conversion. The springs lower the Vantage between 20mm and 40mm, reducing body roll and improving stance, while a slightly stiffer rate over the OEM setup adds body control and responsiveness without stripping out the ride quality. The upgrade works within the existing suspension architecture, so the compliance and refinement the Vantage was designed around stays intact. It’s a focused change that improves the car without altering its fundamental character.

Unique Technology

• Nitron builds every shock from precision components that go through a rigorous design and development process well before the unit reaches final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to work through each application properly without cutting corners on how parts are made or how they perform together under real load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and checked individually by trained technicians; that level of quality control isn’t concentrated at the end of the process, it runs through all of it. New materials, finishes, and processes are put through extensive validation before they’re brought into production, with proprietary Nitron technologies integrated throughout to produce shocks that hold their own against the competition on road and track alike. That discipline in engineering is what the brand has stood on since day one.

Bespoke Engineering

• Nitron doesn’t start with a generic damper and reverse engineer a fit. Every application is developed from scratch, with components, spring rates, and damping characteristics built around the specific platform rather than adapted from something in the same ballpark. The vehicle’s geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel are factored into the design from the beginning, not addressed as afterthoughts. That’s the gap between a kit that happens to fit a car and one that was actually engineered for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the Nitron RoadSport coilover kit fit all Aston Martin V8 Vantage model years? The Nitron RoadSport 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.
• Does the RoadSport kit retain the OEM top mounts? Yes. The RoadSport kit is designed to use the factory top mounts, which preserves OEM levels of comfort and noise isolation. This makes it a practical choice for V8 Vantage owners who want a genuine suspension upgrade without sacrificing the refinement the car was built to deliver.
• How does the RoadSport compare to the NTR-R1 kit for the V8 Vantage? Both kits use combined 2-way damping adjustment across 24 clicks, but they’re aimed at different priorities. The RoadSport is built around road use first, retaining OEM top mounts for comfort and noise isolation while still holding up on occasional track days. The NTR-R1 is developed from Nitron’s R3 race platform and is better suited to drivers who spend more time on circuit and want race-derived hardware underneath the car.
• What is the Nitron Spring Upgrade and is it included with the RoadSport kit? The Nitron Spring Upgrade is a separate option that lowers the V8 Vantage between 20mm and 40mm using springs with a slightly stiffer rate than OEM, improving body control and stance while keeping the ride compliance the car was designed around. It is not included as standard with the RoadSport kit but is available as an addition for owners who want to address ride height without committing to a full coilover conversion.
• Are droplinks included with the kit? No, droplinks are not included. The kit consists of four shock assemblies (+ four springs if upgrade is selected) covering front and rear.
• Is the Nitron RoadSport kit serviceable after purchase? Yes. Every RoadSport 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.

About Nitron Suspension

Nitron Suspension has been at the forefront of precision suspension engineering since 1998, founded by Guy Evans with the goal of building high-performance shocks for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Over 200 dealers now carry Nitron products across Europe, Asia, the US, Australasia, and Africa. In 2008, the company moved into a dedicated facility in the UK’s Motorsport Valley, adding dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines, and 3D CAD capabilities to support both growing demand and continued product development. A second expansion came in 2023 with a new office in Murrieta, California. The team behind every Nitron product draws from deep backgrounds in machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering, and F1 racing, with many engineers bringing firsthand experience as competitive drivers and riders. That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.
