Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

I spoke with Jay yesterday and he said hopefully "any day now". He also said that the kit has been ready and works with aftermarket shocks, which they are looking into also. The kit has to have the bushing in order to work with our "stock shocks" and that's what they are waiting on! Stand by as we have been. I know I'm going to wait so I can do it right the first time. I want the adjustability of the kit which no other kit has as of yet?

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Got an email from Stan today. I think we will get word tomorrow (Wed. 7/12) or the next day on firm ship dates. They are taking a look at what (if any) discount they can offer. Watch this thread or look for a new one direct from GC. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

BBC - Mallet advertises a coil over option to their Penske shock-equipped suspension packages. That is the only other C-over offering widely available that I know of.

There is another kit that has this adjustability and more. However, it's going to cost you almost $4,000.

GC kit is the way to go bang for your buck, like the V.

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Jay called me a few weeks ago with Qs on the shock p/n's, shock mount, etc... So I think it is the spacers they have left to complete.

For those of you who already have WW spacers... you could call Jay or Stan and tell them you want to buy the kit w/o the spacers.

Maybe they should get in touch with WW and buy the spacers from him. Supplier problem solved.

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Unless they're doing something very trick with the spacers, I find it hard to believe that is the hold up.

An hour or two on a cnc mill or router and hundreds could be ready.

In fairness, though, the WW spacer mod can most certainly be improved upon.

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

-FLASH-
Notification from UPS received
Ground Control has shipped
(Or billed at least, technically it may not be on the truck just yet according to UPS-ese)
ETA 7/18
(That's a pretty hopeful sign that it is in fact on a truck since today is the 17th and Shingle Springs is about 120 miles away.)

Calicadi household filled with boisterous cheers.
Neighbors complaining.

Film at eleven.

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Got the kit

Missing parts

Email sent to GC.

There was one plastic bag of small parts containing one each of the urethane bushing, magic spacer and rubber washer for the rear-upper mount assembly. Need two of each of course to do both sides. Also, the diagram for the front-upper assembly calls for a GC supplied bump-stop (two total, one for each side). Got none of those bad boyz.

Everything else was there and lookin' good. Hopefully they'll rectalfy the sitsheeashun toots sweet.

Talking Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Ok, here is how the Cadillac Forums promotional coupon works!

You go to the Ground Control Suspension website, www.groundcontrolstore.com. You can find the Cadillac CTS-V kit several ways; the easiest is to search for CTS-V in the upper left search field.
Then, after selecting spring rates and shock types, you are allowed to check out and buy the kit!

You will have to fill out the entire name and address stuff before you will have an opportunity to enter the coupon code. Have faith, it may seem like you are going to get charged, but right before the end of the secure server process, you will be asked if you have a code. The Cadillac Forums promotional code is “GCCTSV” This brings the price down to $449. After this is when you will give the final “okay” to make the purchase.

This code is not publicized anywhere but here and now. It is the only way I can reward the patience of the users of this forum. There is a limit of 40, but if they go fast, we will do it again.

In the spring choice menu, there is an option for us to call you to discuss the best rates for you, we will call you on the next weekday and quickly discuss your options.

Thanks again to the Cadillac Forum members who helped us develop this kit.

Jay and Stan

Thanks Jay!

I'll be calling you in the morning for spring rate questions and ordering.
