Talking Photos of my family car 4-door sedan.

I installed D3 lowering coil springs last night on my 2009 CTS-V, it was a little more difficult than my 2010 Camaro was. I'm happy to report that the ride quality didn't change at all! I was worried about that, since I like my Caddy to ride like a luxury car. Magnetic shocks still feel just like they did before in Sport Mode too. I'm very pleased with the results.

I removed the GM square chicklet emblems from the front fenders, and removed the CTS emblem from the trunk lid. Wheels are 20" HRE Monoblok P41 with a brushed surface, and smoke tinted clearcoat. Up next are the performance mods. Overdrive crank pulley, cold air intake, and a tune. That should make an easy 550+ rwhp and put this family car into the mid-11s at the dragstrip.

As they say, a photo is worth a thousand words. Here are a few thousand words.

I have always loved V's. The new ones look even better. Car looks good although I would not expect any thing less from you.

IBF someone ask what you do for a living!

Those are probably the best bang for the buck cars out right now. Pure luxury, seating for 4 and a massive amount of power.

Lowering that car really made the wheels pop.
