you can't have both as neither of them will sit you lower than 1", but i'm sure they're still available (at least the h&r)

unless you cut them... but that's another scenario.

and you'll still need spacers to fool your rear shocks from sending you back to oem height.

I have Spacers on the way.
I really cant afford coilovers at this point.
I have not checked ground force.
im looking to lower it 1.5 to 2 inches all around.

this is itsslow98's V on H&Rs with MM Spacers. i will be doing the same set up when my springs and spacers show up.

if you want more of a drop then this, you have need a GC kit, coilovers, or do this.

you want to cut more then the drop of the H&Rs (1.2" front 1" rear). i would say go half way between, and call it a day. and with my H&Rs on the way, i may have a set of stock springs for sale...

Can someone point me towards the spacers needed with H&Rs? I have some on the way and want to do this right the first time.

FYI, there are a bunch of sets of H&Rs for sale on Ebay right now from some company out in Cali...

MIGHTYMOUSE (or nels on Cadillac Forums) user on here. PM him, hes great to work with.

the company in Cali is where i got my H&Rs from, and they are on back order right now. you can also get them from tirerack for about the same price. but their inventory is low now too.

i would make sure that they are for the V. eibach still makes a pro kit for the regular CTS, but not for the V. eibach stop production on them back in the summer i believe. and sometimes the it take websites a long time to remove the items.
