rgd -

I know they exist...I guess my point was not clearly made.

EVERY suspension mod for the V has taken a fair amount of patience thus far, except maybe, for the WW spacers and grooved shocks

If only they would have shipped on one of my orders, I would have never gone down the path and ended up with the adjustable Eibachs from GC per Dreamin.

We all are loosing interest, but what other great option do we have,
We need an adjustable coilover that can be made in the spring rate that we want.
This is the solution unless tein decides to make one of their sweet coilover kits for our cars.
I guess it is back to waiting.
I hope the kit comes out, and i still have the car, I bet the moment i decide to switch there is going to be a wave of parts that come out. it always happens O well

Ground control kit for the CTS-V is listed on their web site?

I just checked there web site and it has the kit up on it for 499.00! Did we miss something here? It asks for shock type and spring rate desired? I will try and call in the morning. I bet they are probably closed tomorrow but will still try. Here's the link.

I have the H&R Springs installed. The car seems too low for me. On the stock wheels, the car rides fine. Once I installed my 20" Asanti's, I had serious rubbing from the fronts. Now I'm going to do a few tests with the stock wheels and H&R springs. If I rub with the stocks, the h&r springs are coming out. If I don't rub, I need to really think about what means more to me, 20" wheels or springs. I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

If you have the "standard" shocks for the V then you have the fe4,
If you have the "sport" shocks for the V then you have the fg2 (actually you'll have both since the fg2's are dealer installed and you should have the fe4 shocks they took off laying around your garage.)

Both are nivomats.

Kit is listed but they're not shipping because of the missing part.

That's what I thought. WTF! Hey G.C. can you find another vendor with the part? As big as this country is you mean to tell me a part that's needed can only be sourced from one person/company?

Spoke with GC today. They took your advice and sought an alternate source, one who apparently is coming thru for them. They hope to start receiving the missing item next week. I know... been there, heard that. Let's keep our fingers crossed. If this pans, out maybe they can start shipping the week of the 17th. Check the forum regularly. They will probably post their own thread when availability is certain.

Good news... Will they be putting together a GP? I know at one point there was a lot of talk around it (the begining of this thread).

Good news hopefully? I'll call them Monday and find out when they will actually be ready for shipping! I was hoping to have this done by next weekend,oh well.

There's been no mention of GP lately. That doesn't mean one can't happen. I'll send an email to Stan, see if they have any ideas. Personally, I'd be happy if they'd just ship ASAP. Free shipping for forum members would be a nice touch and easy to administer. A 10% discount would amount to the same thing, but then you have to do math and stuff.

Thanks for the update! Some form of a GP or discount would be a nice way of releasing the product to the community.
