Default Eibach Pro Kit

So the way im going with the car im planning on returning it completely stock before i sell it. Up for sale is my Eibach Pro Kit that is currently on my CTS-V, the springs are in excellent shape and im pretty sure they dont make this kit anymore, could be wrong though. For the whole shock situation, i didnt feel like rigging my rear suspension up with spacers so i got a set of rear KYB shocks for a regular CTS so they dont have the ride control part of them. Shocks were brand new when i got them so they probably have about 5-6k on them and ride great. The parts are still on my car but plan and removing them in the next week. Im asking $200 for the Eibach Springs and $100 for the rear shocks, PM me or text 602-578-1622.

Thanks

PS- will get some ride height pics up later tonight.

you are correct...Eibach does not make the Pro Kit for the V any more.

GLWS, and not a bad price for a good set of lowering springs.

245 shouldn't rub...275s will be the ones to worry about. the Eibach kits sits just a little lower then H&Rs IIRC.

Actually I think the H&R's are a little lower. I was almost tucking tire on mine. Still didn't rub with 275's out back though.

I was running a 275/35 so I'm not sure how the extra sidewall will affect it. What size are you running up front?

For how long? That isn't good, you need to adjust the sidewall for the wider tire. I was running a 245/40 up front and a 275/35 out back.

Sorry but what are you talking about? Please explain why my size is wrong.

245/45/18 is stock tire size. 275/40/18 is the closest you can get to stock sidewall and overall wheel/tire height. 275/35 is the wrong tire size causing your traction control to come on prematurely and your speedometer is really off.

Check all the wheel calculators out there.

i am running 245/45 and 275/40s on H&Rs...had a little rub in the rear, and had to "roll" the rear fenders.

and with those, the tires did tuck a little into the wells.

275/40/18 is 0.074% off from stock size of 245/45/18

Wile

275/35/18 is 4.132% off from stock tiresome of 245/45/18, that's bad...
