Default Adjustible shocks for CTS-V?

All

My question is a 2 parter.

What type of adjustable shocks are available for the CTS-V? I have been raking through some of the websites (Tokico, Bilstein) and I havent been able to find any applications for our cars.

The reason I ask this, is because I am thinking of getting the H&R's for the V and I am not sure how well the stock shocks stand up to lowering.

Any an all suggestions would be appreciated.

well, I think theres only a few people so far that have had custom valved shocks installed, your right there arent any out there besides the factory fg2 option...not only that but the factory shocks, along with the fg2's are self adjusting (at least the rears are)..if you just put lowering springs in the rear the shocks will bring the car back up to stock height....I THINK, the H&rs come with a special spacer for the rear shocks to fool it into thinking its at stock height (not sure though)...from what Ive heard though the stock shocks are doing just fine on lowered cars, check out this
forum, its got alot more activity, do a search you'll find what your looking for.

Nice to see a fellow CTS-V owner so close, I work in New Brunswick. The guys at Malouf Cadillac acted like they never see these cars...

I know Mallett has some options: Mallett's site I am thinking of just getting the FG2's...
