New mods for the spring Well I finally decided to do some more mods on the CTS-V while the vette is
parked away for the winter in the garage.
I scored a brand new set of Nitto NT555 Extreme Tires 245/45/18's for the front
and 275/40/18's for the rears mounted on a GM accessory polished rim set for
only $1300 US plus shipping
Also picked up a set of H&R springs for a inch or so drop to get rid of the wheel
gap we all hate so much along with some rear shock spacers and Z06 end links.
Adding a set of clear corners and doing the orange to clear foglight mod to give
her that nice clean look.
Hope to have everything installed soon when the weather is a little bit nicer
outside and post up a few more pics.
Next mods: Full headers, Tune, Gforce Axles, BMR Diff brace.
H&R Springs
Only 2 Z06 Endlinks need for the front sway.

Any year C5 Z06. The endlink bolts are larger in diameter than the stock ones though, so whatever the piece is called that the endlink bolts to will need to be drilled out to 15/32" if I remember correctly.
Edit: I think the size shown above is correct, but it has been like 5 years since I have done this, so if you are going to do this mod, do some research first to confirm the needed drill bit size.

I got the H&R's from Fleebay they have stock now, payed $340 shipped to Canada.
The new Nitto 555 tires and GM rims I got for a great price, $1300 for both with
new tire sensors so was a no brainer plus $250 shipped. Clear corners where $40
plus shipping have stealth bulbs for them also to get rid of the egg yoke look.

I did not have my camera here for a photo of the endlinks so cheated and used one from
the net where I got them, there is only 2 needed for the front, sorry for the confusion.
You guys are sharp!
