DB9 lowered with H&R sport springs - HRE P44SC next....
I installed the H&R sport springs on the DB9 couple weekends ago. Lowered the rear 1" and the front 1/2". Had it aligned but think I'm going to have a little more of the negative camber in the rear taken out. Rides great albeit just a bit stiffer. Really makes the need for spacers on stock wheels a must but, my HREs are in transit so the fenders will be filled out soon.
I've changed out suspension on several cars over the years and the AM was most definitely the easiest to do......

Hre p44sc = perfection!
HRE P44SC finally mounted.
In my opinion, this is perfection for the DB9! I am extremely happy with the results. The guys at Wheel Experts and HRE have been awesome to work with. We had some difficulty with fitment b/c AM changed the rear caliper in 2009. It turns out the caliper is more square on the inside edge where the first attempt had the spoke on the concave rear hit the edge of the caliper. Second attempt overcorrected the offset given the tire size (295/30) and the tire rubbed on the fender. Third attempt, we added 1/2" the width (now 11" wide) and added 6mm to the offset (moved it inboard) and now we have PERFECTION!
Guy (US Sales Mgr) at HRE has been very paitent with me b/c I sometimes have not been very easy to deal with. Thank you for your professionalism! You're awesome!
The finish quality of these wheels is second to none I've ever seen... ...and I've seen lots!
Thanks again to Peter and Brandon at Wheel Experts and Guy, Lon, Vince, Nick, Saturo and everyone else at HRE who has made this happen! You're the best!
..... on to the pics!
