Forged Performance: H&R Springs Before and After Photos

The HR springs are available now, and drop the G37 about 1.2 inch front, and .9 inch rear. Just installed a set today. Turned out great, and not quite as slammed as the TEIN S-Tech G35C spring option we are using on our shop G37.
Just thought I would share, and special thanks to Steve for letting us take pics of his car....makes me wish I got the white one...LOL.
Here you go.

i don;t think you can get mad if they take pics off an internet site that isn't watermarked??

looks great though. white is the new hot color of the year.

We're going to watermark them soon...it just takes more time!
Yeah, my first choice was white....but back in Aug, they were impossible to find.

Thanks to Sharif and Forged Performance for getting me the springs so quickly and doing a great install on my G37. If you haven't dealt with Forged yet, you are truly missing out. Great people who know these vehicles and care for your vehicle like it's their own.

Haven't gotten an alignment yet, I don't drive the car much (1500 miles in 3 months) so I'm letting it sit for a few days before I bring it over to Butler Tire. I'll update camber specs as soon as I do.

I agree with the comment made about not going any lower. I don't like cars with the slammed too low can't go over speed bumps. Any lower and the drop would come close to that. But as it sits right now, it is perfect. I've never been happier with a drop and ride quality. My 350 had eibachs with far less of a drop and my ride quality on 19's was awful. As I said in another thread ride quality is 90% the same, and with a luxury car like this with lowered suspension that's about as good as it can get. Completely satisfied with drop and ride quality.

I've experienced no rubbing at all and from the looks of it, there is plenty of offset to play with front and rear. I plan on throwing some Volk 20's on once they become available and I've informed Sharif that I don't mind being the test mule for that either!

For the 3 months I've had this car, I've felt like every other guy driving around. Now with this drop combo, it completes the look on how the car was supposed to come from concept/factory and once again I'm excited to drive my car again.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks again to Sharif and the crew at Forged Performance.

Thanks for the brief review. I too am not into the slammed look, but a nice drop is due for most cars. Also, comfort in driving as well. I have used Tokico and Eibach before, and they were EXCELLENT. Firmer, but still bearable/soft for riding around. I'm in Charlotte and ATL/Marietta isn't too far. This shop sounds great.

I think you like the ride quality, even when lowered. I too, was very suprised.
Hope to see you sometime.
