Hey guys,

just want to share some pics of my new toy sourced from the UK and now
driving on german roads.

It's a 4.3 Vantage in meteorite silver with black leather and some modifications (Eibach suspension, wider semi sport tyres)

So far I really love the car, the sound is epic and reactions (even in Germany) are very positive.

Not to forget it's so coooool to tell my friends I'm driving an Aston :-)

Thanks :-)

I've got them from a suspension specialist over here, they are a huge improvement as they are reducing body roll, but don't be too stiff.

I can order them over here and ship it to you, if you like.

Are they the progresive spring rate type.. so they have a softer initial coil for comfort and they then firm up if pushed hard? I had this type fitted to my old 928 and they were fantastic...
