In doing research to lower my SRT-8 and continue to maintain as much factory ride as possible I found the ground-control setup for the Cadillac CTS. I came across the information while reading on how to modify the Nivomat shocks to allow a 1"+ drop on our cars. The kit sold by ground-control uses the factory front shock and strut assembly while adding a new adjustable spring perch along with an adjustable rear spring perch and parts to modify the Nivomat shock. The kit is approximately $500 for the Cadillac's which is about $800 less most coilover solution and allows us to re-use the Nivomat's.
You can see the article here:

I called up ground-control and they said they had most of the work done but would like to have a local guy come to the shop to verify fitment and the Nivomat modification.
Here's the page on their CTS kit:

If you live near Sacramento and you're looking to lower your car please contact Jay at ground control. You'll have to discuss pricing, time etc for this to happen.
