Ride Quality: Amazing! (very similar to riding around on Sport mode)

Stability: Feels planted to the ground! Fixed the issue I was having with my rear feeling loose during WOT!

I will make final adjustments for ride height next weekend since I want the suspension to settle first.

WeaponX Install instructions for (ATSV suspension) which is pretty much the same as ours: https://weaponxmotorsports.com/blogs/install-instructions/2016-cadillac-ats-v-lowering-springs-installation

Dope! Is widebody on the horizon? I've only seen one which was the D3 car and it didn't look great imo. Would love to make mine wide but I'm at a point now where I'm debating spending money on the car or saving for a Huracan...decisions

Tempted!!! However, I’m going to wait for a little while before I start attacking the body of the car.

We are going to try and fit 20x11.5 with 315s in the rear to see if there are any clearance issues. However, I’ve confirmed we can fit 20x10 (275 tires) front and 20x11 (305 tires) rear.

Those are the Mag Ride deletes from KW.

These are required to prevent error code from popping up on your dash which also prevents you from being able to turn off your Traction control.

^^Pretty sure it's the delete module for the factory mag ride, so you don't get a light on the dash. Man, this might push me over the edge, as I've been kicking around getting the V3's for a year now...thanks for the write up.
So far, love it. Do it! Lol

Your car looks amazing in the pic where you’re parked in between the two cars! I wish the roads where I live in New Mexico weren’t garbage. I’ve got to stay stock height and won’t ever be dong 20s.

I just ordered some spacers for my front wheels. Yours' look much better pushed out to the fender line than tucked in where they are stock.
Thanks man!! You should order Coils while your at it :)... Mexico isn't much different than Florida.

I couldn't agree more! The car is very predictable and stable - huge improvement over OEM.

Love the stance man!

how tf did you get out of that parking space lmaoo
I used Auto start and the tesla got scared so it self-reversed!!! lmfao!

Can't run those in Florida, the roads are built for heavy rain. There are mad inclines even at the malls.
I'm in Miami! It's perfect, just don't go to downtown during heavy rain!
