They fit on the rear hangers, they bolt between them, which stiffen them helping to lessen the axle sway

Just curious, as I am new to the 2k Caddy: are there any issues with the brake load sensing valve when lowered at the back? I know this can be an issue with the 9k if not done properly

I have KW too. Great ride quality but making some creaking noises now. Anyone have the same issue?

Some really good info here. I am looking at getting the ST Supension coilover kit fitted by Darkside within the next few months once my insurance is up for renewal. The kit seems like a good mid price range option.

Yes it does improve it, what also helps is fitting polyurethane bushes
