Looks great, have you been on any long drives since doing it, I am planing on driving from Ohio to Florida next month and I was considering lowering my car before hand but don't want to run into a rough ride there.

Dude, that car looks sick! How many miles did it have? Looks like 58k from the clip he had on the website but hard to see the guages.

What color did you have those wheels powdercoated? I'm thinking I dig that a little more than completely black especially with the red calipers and red engine covers he added.

I wish the one I was getting had black interior!! I'll prob hunt for a wrecked one to pull the black seats and carpet out of. Can't argue for what I'm getting it for though.

i have only driven it maybe 30 miles straight so far, but its been on some rough roads and the ride isnt much different then stock, you can only slight tell on really rough roads, on interstates its the exact same.

yup it had 59k actually and i actually took that video when i still had it ... and i had the calipers painted too ..but those frc's were a nice touch!!

Oh and the rim color was called black chrome but it was more of a Hyper Gun metal ..changed color with the light

My thoughts exactly on the springs...I have only heard one person ever on all the forums that have not loved the H&R (and ive been on the caddy forums since 2004 so 6 yr vet) .... Perfect ride perfect height...

if you get black chrome, a true black chrome, itll come out looking like regular chrome but it will look dark in some areas and shiny in the rest. search google pictures and youll see.

Those look good! Hmm...

Cant decide what would look better on the car though. Black, black chrome or the more gunmetal color he had. Wish there was a way to try them on the car first... lol
