When I bought my first CTS I never even heard of the V, then after pimping out that car (mostly looks) I got bored real fast. I needed a V to mod,
it was a logical upgrade.
I've had my V for about a year and a half.
But even before I had my V delivered I had a pile of parts waiting for it, short throw, race axles, exhaust, lowering springs, skip shift, poly diff bushing, pinion brace.
This summer want to do heads and cam, and all associated stuff like high flow oil pump, water pump, timing chain ect.

Good luck MR. Compton....i hope the 295's fit...if i had a 295-35-18 i would try them on my 9 3/4" stock rims...I have Fulda Carrets Extremo's 285/30/18 on the rear with my stock rims and they don't scrape...i am severly lowered as u know with map trl. arms...I think i might stay with the 285's with the
9 3/4" rims..for stability and control...plus the 285's look soooo much wider than the 275's i had on there...all btw: i saw the MAP fleabay post notice they don't come with the poly bushings
