Well, I will take the reins on this one as I would like a set!
Here is the thread with ALL of the information: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ling-arms.html
To make it simple for everyone the arms that are for the group buy will be the ones with the spherical bushing (ballistic joint) on the subframe side, and the option of Creative Steel's greaseable bushing on the control arm side or not.
So fairly simple; All the same arm just plus or minus the bushing on the control arm side (your option).
Price without bushing :325$
Price with bushing: 365$
Prices are SHIPPED!!!
Pictures are of the arms without the ballistic joint and are another version Creative Steel offers
Once we get ten on the list Max will start building them and then we just need 2 more to complete the group buy! Any simple questions that I can answer feel free to PM me for my phone # as Max lives on the West coast...and I will answer my phone whenever you Forkers call in the wee hours. Plus it will not distract the man from his work building our arms! There will be no payment until we have all confirmed buyers! SO PLEASE! if you're interested cool, but if you decide to commit don't back out and screw the group, thats just no bueno. Lets hope for some interest, and Thank you!-Nik

I will try to put the car on the lift tomorrow if I have time (jury duty) to get a measurement from the stock wheels that I have now to the frame. I believe the lower control arms will hit first, then the shock then the frame.
I will confirm asap..

There are people with 10" wheels and 295's on their V with the map trailing arms on the other forum so....? Im not sure as to skydivers setup but I know he runs 305's out back. After the trailing arm the next thing to hit will be the lower control arm (spring perch) when you widen the rim, but this can be cleared with a little coaxing by a BFH. After that the shock I believe is the next thing in the way.
Also are you running 285's on stock 8.5" rims? As I can imagine that is not advised.
Edit: Just read your other post with th 9 7/8" rims. Can you post up some pictures of the clearance issues you see? You're saying frame will hit first?

Ok folks, there are a few spots left! Max is allowing 20 to get in on this group buy now, and I believe this may be the only group buy for this item. There will most likely not be another!
So here is what you do, call creative steel and get yourself in on the group buy! Once that 20# is hit, that is it! You will have to wait till the next batch is made, and the regular price!
ALSO! Everyone who is already in the group buy, please either post here, call creative steel, or email creative steel what your color preference is!
Two choices! The red pictured, or Hammer tone Black! Please let us know asap so that Max can have them powder coated accordingly!

WOO HOOO !!! I got out of jury duty.
I put the car on the lift. I have 1 3/4" passenger side and 2" drivers side from the closest section of the frame to the bulge of the tire side wall.
Stock size tires and wheels: 245-45-18
