Thumbs up Forged Performance Does it again (NO 56K)

Last Saturday I had Forged install a few thing on my car, which included the following.

Tein Flex Coilovers
Forged Performance Rear Adjustable Camber Arms

I also had them change my gear oil to the Motul Gear 300v 75w-90
(My car now shifts like butter)

Here is some before picture:







Here are some random picture I take during the install:

















After install Pictures:







After putting a few hundred mile on the car, I have to say that the car drives totally different and feel a lot more stable in the turns and at higher speeds. I would like to thank Sharif and the Forged Crew (Devon and Sandy) for all their time and help.

Matt

Forged does what, again?
Installs suspension parts and changes your fluid for you.
I'd be disapointed in myself if I couldn't do that stuff on my own.

Sorry man, but anyone that know me, knows that I am not mechanically inclined. So to be honest I am not in the least bit disappointed in myself and I am very happy with the install.

Did you get it realigned yet? Curious as to what settings you are running for daily driving on the shocks. I love my Mono Flex set-up...

Front camber is decent thats what mine is at, but I had my rear dialed to "only" -1 degrees of rear camber to help with traction. Since you have the camber arms, all you need are the eccentric toe bolts from www.iapdirect.com and you should be good to go on that rear toe, that camber is still within spec...

Although I can install mods like suspension myself, I don't. My car cost $47k after was all said and done and I would rather pay a couple hundred bucks and leave the liability with the place that installs it. You might save a few bucks, but once you burn yourself you'll learn. You can always inspect the work you have done anyway.
