Just a quick question about lowering a Coupe. When throwing on Eibachs does that make our(my)V’s drive any different? A little rougher perhaps? I am considering this mod, but don’t wanna sacrifice Lucille’s smooth drive. I do live out in the country where the roads aren’t the best
Well, clearly damaging these front splitters is very common. It’s a constant topic here. Which is disappointing and a damn shame to say the least. Sure do like that look of these V’s lowered 😔
Have you considered coil overs vs or are you wanting to keep mag ride? Does mag ride work with just springs?
I’m considering Menscer suspension maybe this summer. Don’t really want to drop the car as most after market coil overs do naturally (KW says .8”F/1.4”R and BC Not sure. Can anyone confirm?)
So funny, i wrote that first message early this morning and never sent it until a few minutes ago. In between that time my in-laws came over with a damaged front splitter(on their CTS) from hitting a curb. Definitely a message 😂
Can anyone verify if that’s Black Diamond Tricoat paint in the pics above? I’ve always thought it was but have doubts bc it‘s always looked a little dark gray metallic, but I dunno

I have 2 sets of splitters and have got pretty good at repairing them. My original set is from KPE and is the 3 piece set and my spares are from eBay and are good quality and come in handy when the KPE's are on the repair bench. Usually takes 2 days to repair.
I have a 2012 wagon with those springs. It came lowered when I bought it so I cannot advise on ride quality difference. I can confirm that the front splitter gets destroyed all the time and the front tires rub fender well in tight parking lot turns.
The previous owner installed a small trailer hitch to prevent the back end from scrapping when entering a steep driveway. I have bashed it several times-he was spot on.
I have a 2022 Blackwing on order. Will be leaving the stock ride height in place...
The more I think about it and look at it, it looks more gray. It is metallic btw. I just looked up 2012 CTS colors and there’s one called Thunder gray ChromaFlair which must me it if that color is metallic 🤷🏼
It has alot of pearl the chromaflair is sort of gm’s take on like a chameleon type paint, in some light it’s grey, in low light it looks a little greenish, and in some light it has a sort of golden highlights affect, I personally think it’s one of the better colors Cadillac put on these cars especially with a full chrome delete. Very stealthy IMO
