  • CTSV coupe time

    Being an accuair dealer, we had this thing find us

    This forum is a PITA to upload pictures, so I'm going to be linking them. I mean really, get your act together!

    In any case- check it out. Stock. My foreman photobombing my pic lol





    some work after the compressor is mounted.





    This needs to go here......






    Rear bags installed






    Came up with some level sensor mounts....
    The upper control arm bolts need to be trimmed flush with the nut. The rearward nut needs to have a signifigant amount of material trimmed away to make the bag not contact it during compression and extension. This was a tedious task after installing everything..... picking it up on the lift and using a diegrinder and carbide bit worked the fastest..... but like I said a HEAVY amount needs to be ground off at an angle.






    Farting around with it while I was getting it finished up






    Hanging out with a cool companion....






    And lets screw the formality of having to mount the sensors and run tubing/wiring.... which was all done with pop rivets and chafe guards..... I know you just scrolled by to see the finished results

















    Whatcha think?

    Badass! Would have been cooler if it were a wagon, but this is awesome. Nice work!

    It's a work in progress^

          those are rare in the netherlands,such a same cause i really like them,
          specially this one, looks good bagged on the stocks but probably even better with some aggressive fitment
          nice work!

            Christ, that is pretty. The stock wheels work well on it, even aired out.

                  This is relevant to my interests. I've been waiting for a CTS to show up on these pages so I can get the motivation to bag mine.

                  Which you have done, lol. Was there a fair amount of fab to the universal kit?

                    This customer I don't think will be putting wheels on it, but who knows. He is very happy as it is

                    I told ya everything you need to do already lol


                    I also emailed the company that made the bag brackets on how to fix the upper control arm bolt issue. Either make the bag slightly offset on the top, or machine a larger aluminum cup to set the bag down lower.
