Very Nice...but I have a quick question for you...I have the CS and when I tried adjusting the rear to lower it...I turned the "lock plates (dont know what theyre called)" downward, so that it compressed the spring...but after I was done, the rear looked higher and still does 2 weeks later...am I adjusting the REARS the wrong way??? Thanks!

I will get the camber kit on thursday
also do the alignment~
otherwise, people say it will "eat the inside part of the tire" very soon~
so after thinking~ I think I should still get the camber and toe kit(stillen) even tho they are super expensive~

For the track, I'll do some other Mods later on~
BTW, The track will be 7/7~
if anyone is interested~

Sorry man~ I don't know about that~
I install that in a shop~
however, I know if you turn it lower, you have to do alignment again~

You are turning them the wrong way.That will not compress the spring.It raises the spring mount location.Turning them up towards the car will lower the spring mounting location,in a sense creating an overall shorter spring.

turn the collar upwards towards the gold piece to lower the car.

Any comments on the ride of the Flex? Because of the high spring rates, I've always thought it'd be rougher than stock no matter what the setting is. How does the ride compare to that of the sport suspension package?

the ride of flex is great imho. at it's softest setting it's comfortable on a performance minded level. it's no oem feel, it's oem with authority. no cadillac ridin' at all. it has a more gripping feeling over sport suspension.
