Forgestar F14s and Lowering Springs Installed
Received my Forgestar F14s yesterday after an agonizing wait since they were made in a custom offset. Car is lowered on RSR springs. More pics to come.
Big thanks to Forgestar, VIP Auto Salon and RSR USA.

That looks absolutely sick! Couple questions-
How is the ride now that the springs have settled?
What is the offset and tire size you went with?
Could you post a couple pics at an angle so I can see the how the offset looks?
Great job man, I'm right behind you. My Tein springs are here, I just have to make a decision on wheels.

I wish the springs would have settled a little lower, but it's probably better they didn't since my GF drives the car and is less used to lowered cars.
The ride feels similar to stock but I'm one that likes a firm stance, so I may not be the best judge.
Wheels are 19x8.5 +35. I was going to go with +30 and if I did it over, would have. I will likely run a 3mm spacer up front and a 5mm spacer in the rear. Tires are 225/40/19.
I'll get more pics at some point.

I'm guessing those Forgestar's weigh a lot less than the factories. It might be too early since your tires are not broken in, did you get LRR tires, or are you going for all out grip? I'm curious to see if your mileage gets better or not with this setup.

Just had nitrogen put in the tires to hopefully maintain mpg as well. Put the spacers on the rear and like the look even better since they're closer to being flush now.

There's something to say about the Starfire Pearl on an HS...My color too.The only problem is when you need to touch up paint for any reason they say its hard to match because of the 3 step process.Your car is awesome by the way....Makes me want to lower mine too.Gives it a whole new look.
