    Arod221 Shadow Metallic build thread

    yup, that's exactly correct....Cadillac in their infinite wisdom decided that they needed to drill two holes in the deck lid behind the rear crest.....I thought we were over this drilling holes for emblem thing a long time ago...guess I was wrong. So frustrating. I'm eventually just going to...

    well for sure in a 55 you'll be welding bag brackets on the rear axle but thats not too difficult especially considering you sound like you might be able to weld and fabricate.

    Arod221 Shadow Metallic build thread

    its hard to describe it...the car still feels just as stiff and composed while cornering but it does have a little bounce to it now. also, as stated earlier, the mag ride still works so there is a little bit of adjustment still.

    Arod221 Shadow Metallic build thread

    basically remove the springs and replace them with air bags...everything else remains the same as factory. of course 2 compressors, a tank, and an air management (brain) are all in the trunk. I will take some pictures of that this weekend and upload them here.

    we have a shadow metallic XT-6 for the wife and kiddo...I knew when we bought that car it would have to be the color for my BW...I like that there aren't too many of them around as well.

    Arod221 Shadow Metallic build thread

    my guess.....is yes, at this point. @Drozboyz is looking pretty good as well...maybe he'll start a build thread soon if he hasn't already. I'm a firm believer that everyone should start a build thread to document all of our mods.

    after hearing what HRE and another wheel company had to say...I'm seriously starting to doubt that AG actually fit a 12.5" wheel in the rear. but who knows

    HRE wheels - lowering options?

    HRE has a 4 month lead time.....guess a lot of people are fine with their prices. on a side note....I'm not waiting that long for HRE's got something else up my sleeve.

    HRE wheels - lowering options?

    the price of forged wheels has gone way up over the last year because the forgings come from out of the country. but $6400 for a set of fully forged wheels is a bargain.

    HRE wheels - lowering options?

    yup, I talked to him on IG for about 4hrs one day..He owns 909 motoring those wheels are 20x11 front and 20x12.5 rears. He won't give up the offsets though. just judging from that though, there is plenty of room under the wheel wells for bigger wheels than stock. he did mention that at those...
