Just got mine from d3 Cadillac. Called trying to see if they still had it in stock and to my surprise they did. I didn't even hesitate. My car rides too high!

Look at that gap

Swapping them today

Sexy springs !! Yours is the awd model aswell ? If you can take pics when you swap them out that would be great ! How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking ?

RWD 06 v6, paid $465 including shipping and the little spacers for rear. Will not do it today, raining like crazy. I'll post pics

Lol not aggressive as I hoped but it did close that ridiculous gap and enough room if I have any heavy objects in the rear.

Top is before, bottom after

Looks good man, just wait til those springs settle, it'll lower some more.

That's what I've been told, we'll see. Looks good from the back. Very squatted. Ride is a tad bit hatch but not as bad as I've heard other people describe it

Be mindful of the bounce lol. Traction control also kicks in a lot more than before (I drive the car like i stole it but still)

Did you also replace the shocks back there? if not that could be part of the wheel hop (bounce) your have now.

Am I suppose to replace the shocks? All I did was swap the springs

I would have with the miles it has, lowering spring and old stock shocks/struts dont mix to well from my experience.

I need to find out which ones to buy.

Those look like BMW rims, what are they? btw that thing is sitting sexy now, I think I might have to get me a set up like that. Hows the ride on it now?

20x9F 20x10R Rohana rc10. It rides ok except for when going over speed bumps. I think the springs are bottoming out. A tad bit bouncy also at high speeds and going over uneven pavement. It sits low enough that it barely clears the parking curb (scrapes a bit lol)
