18" Forgestars are ETA of late June. 19" Forgestars are an ETA of 2-3 weeks from when you order them.

Random status updates:

Battery relocate still doing fine. Haven't had any issues starting the car, etc. Still looking around for what to do about switching/protecting in the rear though. Ideally I need something that makes it easy to disconnect the ground (a switch or quick-disconnect plug of some kind), and I also need a fuse/breaker that can take starter motor current draw. Turning up a blank on an ideal solution so far, although many things look close.

Got my Hotchkis swaybars in today. The delivery truck driver was very envious when he saw the box, and then the car

These will probably be installed tomorrow evening.

You have the Stillen exhaust right? As long as there is an easy way to drop the rear exhaust section down about 10-12 inches the rear swap is a piece of cake. Most of the time is spent jacking the car up and getting it on the stands. The front is straight forward, just need to take off the undertray as if you were doing an oil change. Check out my DIY's. Don't read the Hotchkis install guide for the rear, it has unnecessary steps as it is written for a G37.

Yeah I have the Stillen exhaust. It will be interesting, we'll see how it works out at install time

Luckily I have a few spare gaskets for the rear of the exhaust.
