anyone that is looking to lower their car properly should really consider this opportunity. you'll never have to worry about fooling your car in to thinking something that isn't happening, and you can also adjust the stiffness of the ride by turning the dial on the top of the shocks. easily a no-brainer if the funds are there.

Hey guys i just installed the MM spacer kit on my 05 cts-v and im pretty happy with it other than the rear still sits pretty high. I have eibach pro kit springs and the front looks great but i still have a 3-4 finger gap in the rear. Is it common to stay that high even with after market springs? do i need to wait for the struts to settle? or should i just say F*ck it and cut the springs?

MM I sent you a message regarding your spacers! I need a set as I am looking to lower my 05 V with H & R springs.

Do you happen to know where I can get the Z06 end links as well?

3-4 finger gap sounds like higher than stock... Something is amiss here...

truth be told you need adjustable links to get it perfect. my experience is that stockers were too long and z06 too short, both putting preload on the bar at my desired ride height. that said, stock works fine at least down to 26 in fender to ground..maybe even less...

z06 links effectively shortened the bar and made it stiffer, but werent 'necessary'
