[paulrog1]

Hi,

Just checking to see if anyone has a decent spare rear shock absorber for sale?

For an early DB9 coupe, non sports pack.

Message me if you have one.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies and messages.

Leaking damper at the rear so looking at what to do, I will be doing the job myself -

Price for original dampers are £800 each at dealers/scuderia parts/Nicholas Mee, (not fitted) I was told from Works it's on back order..........

I got a message to let me know about the dampers at Vantage engineering they are £577 a corner (not fitted), i've read some good reviews.

This looks to be my best option If I decide to replace them all which currently not sure about.

Not sure what shocks are on your DB9 from factory (assuming they are factory items) so cannot offer a like for like comparison however, switching from some (past it) Dynamics shocks (OEM fit) on my Vantage to the Vantage Engineering ones was well worth it. They certainly gave my car more purpose under heavy throttle and damping is way better than the Dynamics.

Unless its bent broken or scored thats the way I would be going 300 compared to 800 a bargain.
