... to HRE's new P1 Monoblock series. ![Cool](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
I swear, HRE is like Apple. Every year they release something newer that makes me want the latest and greatest. I'm seriously considering the P101 on the V12V.

And is anyone in the market for a set of HRE P40SC's?![Wink](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Yes, it's lowered on H&R springs for the V8V with custom rear spring perches to account for the weight difference and balance out the height.

How do you like them? How have the changed the handling and ride? Also, how much did they lower the car?

The overall stance and posture of the vehicle is perfect. However, the car is lowered overall about 1" or so. It doesn't sound like much, but it is a challenge when encountering speed bumps and driveway aprons. Luckily I have experience with "super-lowered" vehicles, but also have a custom skidplate as added protection. As for ride quality, it is the same as when on the V8VS. Slightly stiffer and a tad bouncy, but not a deal breaker for sure.

^^^Did you drive your V12V enough with the stock springs to be able to compare to that? I am considering lowering my car but I don't want to give up anything (except height) as compared to the stock V12V setup, which is quite good IMO from a handling and ride perspective.

FWIW, I'd stick the the 40's you've got. I do understand your comment about something new from HRE every year...

I think there is a substantial difference between the two styles you posted. I debated myself 5 spoke versus 7 spoke from ADV.1 until I now have finally decided on the "old" 5 spoke (the right photo).
I am currently trying to complete the spec and pricing so I can get these ordered from Alex at Tagmotorsports, the ADV.1 dealer.
Which design do you guys prefer? I am doing a graphite gray with a machined 'stainless steel" face.

Here's side profile picture for height reference:
I believe they kept the measurements and design template on file in the event another Aston owner needed the same, but not sure how applicable they would be among other AM models. If you want, I would give them a call ask for James and reference the V12 Vantage with spring spacers.

Good luck.
