STB008-V
W/CTS-V EMBLEM
The OE strut tower brace for the Cadillac CTS-V is purely cosmetic and does little for handling. Made from 1" x .083" square tubing, you can practically bend it over your knee. Our brace features 1" x 2" x .120" brushed stainless tubing with sturdy 3/16" black powder coated mounting plates and stainless hardware.

BMR trailing arms are similar in design to the factory arms but are made from larger diameter, heavier gauge tubing and use heavy duty QA1 spherical bearings in the front mount instead of the soft rubber factory bushing.

The differential is mounted to the rear cradle by soft rubber bushings. There are two bushings in the rear and only one in the front. This front bushing is responsible for maintaining pinion angle which is critical for u-joint life, launch consistency, and overall driveline efficiency. By simply releasing the clutch at idle with the brake on, the stock, unsupported pinion measures up to 2 degrees of deflection. Aggressive driving loads this bushing significantly more allowing up to 4 degrees of pinion deflection before the OE bushing "bottoms out". Our Pinion Support adds a low deflection polyurethane bushing to the front mount and reduces deflection to almost zero off idle. The result is immediately noticeable as it removes the "spongy" feel noticeable off idle and decreases the audible "thunk" heard when the OE bushing bottoms out.

BMR REAR TOE RODS
The toe rod is responsible for
maintaining toe settings of the the rear wheels similar to tie rod ends on
the front end. This ensures that the wheels remain set to a fixed position,
not erratically pointing inward or outward under loading. The factory rods
are made from 1/2" material and use soft rubber bushings at the mounting
points. Under load, deflection can cause poor launch stability, inconsistent
handling and decreased braking ability. Our toe rods are made from 1" heavy
wall DOM and use Teflon lined QA1 rod ends with stainless spacers. Moderate
install with no decrease in ride quality.

BMR ANTI WHEEL HOP KIT
Anybody that's driven one of these
cars knows about the serious wheelhop issues. What people don't know is how
to resolve it. While this car is definitely a modern day muscle car, first
and foremost it's a Cadillac and GM designed the suspension ultimately with
ride quality in mind. This doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice ride
quality, though. A careful balance of fixed mounts and rubber mounts can
provide both ride quality and traction. This kit makes the cradle a fixed
mount with machined polyurethane spacers and reinforces the cradle at the
trailing arm mount. With this kit alone, wheelhop is reduced approximately
75% and ride quality is only slightly effected.
