2020 G63 Sucessfuly lowered 1.2” on H&R Springs!

Hi all! I successfully lowered my 2020 G63. Below are before and after photos, it drives way better. Handles A LOT better. And much easier to get in and out of with the drop being 1.2” all the way around, will look even better when I finally get my new rims:

Before:


After:

I might need to do this to get my G63 to fit in the parking lot at work! How much is something like this?

the springs are basically the same looks. Both black. Just more compressed.

not too much. Handles way better. Cornering is so much better. easier to get in and out. And looks way better IMO.

I've had H&Rs in pretty much every vehicle I've owned and not once did I notice a downgrade in ride comfort. And as OP said, handling improves.

I like it, and it does appear to be more than what it actually is but 1.2" is how much those springs lower it. The G has plenty of room to play with height-wise so a couple inch drop will not hurt anything and as stated it will handle much better since the center of gravity is lowered and the adaptive suspension takes care of any stiffness one would get if it did not have it. And it looks better as well - good job.

G63/RR LWB/W222 S550
Looks good but totally defeats the purpose of having a G. I guess if you just use ur G to drive to work and the mall you should do this. I raised my G63/RR LWB and lower my C63 and M5 because an SUV has no reason to be lowered esp one that is supposed to be a all terrain off roader.

But hey if it makes you happy thats all that matters who cares about what a stranger on the internet has to say right?

It still has the highest seating position of any SUV and it was just over an inch so I see the results as a good thing, especially for those that only drive on the street (which is most owners!).

Good thing the garages around where I live (Lincoln center) are pretty height friendly with Gwagon, but I could imagine other owners in Manhattan might want to do this mod for not scratching that roof,lol
