Congrats Shawn! Enjoy.
Next weekend I'm powder coating my calipers a cool color that I'll show everybody later and I'm replacing the pads while they're apart. I went with the EBC Reds. The EBC Yellows were overkill for my DD.
Again, can't wait to hear your feedback about the CTS parts on your car!

if i went this direction, i would still like to use my full size spare. Can we get a spacer that would work with stock 19 and studs?
A 5mm spacer may allow the proper clearance with the stock wheels.
I believe stock GXP wheels will clear as well.
Hey, If someone has the spacers, I will be willing to buy a set! I have 2 sets of 18" and one set of 19" (that are just a shade too close). Spacers will do me a world of good. I have seen 1/2" wheel hub spacers that bolt on. I just think that would look bad, be dangerous, not work without more mods ect. So, I am afraid to try them. Help me out folks. Thanks
