Probably not supposed to do this but what the hell. I have (3) sets of the same spacers that were used on "STAGEUP's" car for sale. I will not be making any more of these as I am selling my V. The price is $39.00 Shipped.

it's hilarious how much better our cars look once they're lowered. i mean the stance it has out of the box is waaay too high IMO. i couldn't wait to lower mine after i got it, lol. i had to wait for the coilovers to come in though. took forever but well worth the wait.

Nice!!! I had mine sitting low like that but it proved too low for NYC streets. I originally purchased the H&R springs. Then I changed the entire setup; Hotchkis anti-sway bars, Z-O6 endlinks, Ground Control 550F/600R and QA1 adjustable shocks. Cranked the height up a little and now it's perfect. I love the adjustablility for street and track!

jnrandall - I was just checking out your sig... nice numbers. WTH is ASP UDP?....Under Drive Pullies? If so, have you had any issues with the rest of your accesories? I notice you're running a bit more power than some others with similar mods.
sorry 'bout the thread jack.

Long answer remains no as well but theres a short story. Initially after the cam/underdrive pulley install, I had an issue with my altenator not charging the battery properly. I heard that problems like this can occur after adding a UDP. The recommended fix is to change another accessory pulley or something. Took it to Cadillac who told me that it was my battery and aftermarket stereo amp drain that was the issue. They charged me 4 hours for their time cause the issue wasn't covered under my warranty. I replaced it with a new one and still had the issue. After spending about $600 (Cadillac plus battery), I took it to a friend's shop who discovered that an alternator wire was loose. I then submitted his bill plus the $600 in invoices to GMPP for reimbursement. Got it all back!
I didn't think I have more power than others with similar mods. I thought that give or take a few HP, I was right in the ballpark! Unless the dyno was being generous with the numbers. My pre-cam corrected numbers were 357/347 with headers, tune, cold air and exhaust. I got 55 more HP with the cam and re-tune. That seems to be on par with other posts I've read.
Sorry for assisting the thread jack!
