| CTS-V Strut Tower Brace BMR
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 mounting plates and stainless hardware. New GM "V" emblem provided with brace | |

| CTS-V Anti-Wheelhop Kit AWK001
Anybody that´s driven one of these cars knows about the serious wheelhop issues.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. Powdercoated silver vein.
NOTE: May not clear B&B exhaust

| CTS-V Pinion Support Brace
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 | |

| CTS-V Heavy Duty Rear Toe Rods
As you can tell by this comparison of the OE toe rod vs. our heavy duty replacements - there is no comparison. 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 | |

| CTS-V Trailing Arms
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. Powdercoated silver vein. TE: When combined with the BMR anti-wheelhop kit, expect some additional road noise | |

| BMR Carbon Fiber Diveshaft
The factory shaft is a two-piece design that uses a rubber joint in the front and a CV joint in the rear. Both of these are rated for roughly 450RWHP (as we found out in our Project GTO test car that uses a similar setup). Our heavy duty driveshaft is made from 3.25" diameter carbon fiber with heavy duty 1350 series forged u-joints. The supplied rear yoke adaptor converts the CV pinion flange on the differential to a more traditional and stronger 1350 series u-joint. This rear yoke is machined from 4340 billet then hardened and black oxide coated. The front yoke is available with either a Strange billet yoke or a cryogenically treated cast yoke. The whole unit is rated for 800+ RWHP. The only modification required to the car is the elimination of the factory resonators which are too bulky for use with the larger diameter shaft | |
