I don't get it guys, my 2020 CT5-V does not look that bad, or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about..

Maybe it’s just the close up that really makes it look worse.
But your CT5 also doesn’t look like there’s as much of a wheel gap

Someone suggested that perhaps the shipping spacers weren’t removed from the springs but, would they put those in preproduction cars?

And what's really odd is the CT5-V summer tires (per the Configurator) are 225/40R19 which is a 26.1" diameter tire. But the CT5-V BW tires are 275/35ZR19 which is a 26.6" diameter tire. You would think that the gap would be even less noticeable on the BW.

Maybe the suspension just hasn't fully settled on the BW?

I don't know guys, hopefully everyone will be happy when our cars come in...One more angle..

The 4 X 4 mystery appears to be solved. Take a close look at that pic. Zoom in and you can indeed see what appears to be a yellow spring spacer in there.

that would have been me...and yeah I'm pretty sure they would put those in considering they are going to be shipping it to a bunch of different places dealers/events and. such.

if you look through the Imgur link on post #13 the second or third picture is most likely what he is referring too..im not 100% sold that the yellow thing in that picture is a spring spacer but it does look like it could be. good catch @CT4-V Blackwing

That’s it! I can’t think of anything that it could be other than a spring spacer.

I hope your right because that is a HUGE gap for sure....

nothing that a nice set of lowering springs won't fix...hahahaha

You like lowered cars a lot don't you, lol.....

 

[arod221]

@Tall Steve, I do. I didn’t have to lower the CTS-V3 because Cadillac didn’t screw that one up hahaha. That car has the perfect stance.

At the 1:18 mark of the new video the @CMac_FL posted, you can clearly see they still have the suspension blocks/spacers in there.

Newer video showing CT5 B up close

hahahaha 100% I just saw that...what a relief it was to see those spacers installed. the front end should drop about 3/4" at least with those guys out.
hey @Tall Steve, I may not need lowering springs after all hahahahaha
