V1 shocks? What's out there? Called Luke didn't sound good.
I searched a bit. Qa1 seemed to lower the car. The other options were big money,or seemed to not be a upgrade.

KYB also makes CTS/V struts and you can always go to the CTS struts.

Shocks cannot phsyically lower the car. The car is supported by the springs which provide the ride height. that said the only way the QA1 could lower the car is if the shock body on the front is shorter from the bottom shock mount to the lower spring perch. So only the front could potentially lower the vehicle. Otherwise the car will be at the same height as stock.
KYB also makes CTS/V struts and you can always go to the CTS struts.

I'll read into kyb a bit more. I don't think the valving of a regular CTS shock is what I want.

Best compromise might be D2/K-Sport, but I can't speak to their reliability on the CTS-V. I stuck it out for a while with FG2s and the Ground Control kit, but in retrospect I should've bought the bullet right away and upgraded to the KW Variant 3 setup that I have right now.
