Nitron RoadSport Coilover Kit for Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2009-2018)

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a car that rewards drivers who push it, but the factory suspension is a compromise that doesn’t fully reflect what the platform is capable of on a demanding road. The Nitron RoadSport coilover kit for the 2009-2018 V12 Vantage is developed for owners who want a genuine handling improvement without giving up the ride quality and refinement that make the car enjoyable to live with day to day. It 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 uncomplicated. 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 V12 responds more precisely on a challenging road without becoming punishing when the conditions don’t call for it. Ultra high-grade materials and hard-anodized 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 V12 Vantage is built for owners who want to sharpen road manners and bring the ride height down without committing to a full coilover conversion. The springs lower the V12 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 V12 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

• Which Aston Martin V12 Vantage model years does this kit cover? The Nitron RoadSport coilover kit is confirmed to fit the Aston Martin V12 Vantage from 2009 to 2018. If you’re unsure about your specific build date or variant, we are happy to assist.
• Is the RoadSport kit a good fit for a V12 Vantage that sees regular road use? Yes, that’s exactly what it’s built for. The kit retains the OEM top mounts to preserve factory comfort and noise isolation, and the 24-click combined adjustment range is wide enough to dial in a setup that works well on the road without becoming harsh. It’s developed for owners who want the V12 to handle more precisely without giving up the refinement that makes it enjoyable day to day.
• What is the Nitron Spring Upgrade and does it come with the kit? The Nitron Spring Upgrade is a separate option that lowers the V12 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 but is available as an addition for owners who want to address ride height alongside the coilover upgrade.
• How does the RoadSport differ from the NTR-R1 for the V12 Vantage? Both use combined 2-way damping adjustment across 24 clicks, but the priorities differ. The RoadSport is built around road use first, using OEM top mounts to keep noise and harshness in check while still holding up on occasional track days. The NTR-R1 draws from Nitron’s R3 race platform and is better suited to owners who spend more time on circuit and want race-derived hardware beneath the car.
• Does the kit come with custom spring rates, or are those standard? The RoadSport kit does not come with fixed recommended spring rate specs. Each kit is custom built and custom sprung to order, and custom rates are available on request. Contact us directly to discuss the best setup for your specific use case.
• Are droplinks included with the kit? No, droplinks are not included. The kit consists of four shock assemblies covering front and rear, with four additional springs included if the Spring Upgrade is selected.

About Nitron Suspension

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.
