wicked irocz I agree that would work best. Hard to find an offset that’s right for the front to fit 9.5 but it’s possible. Just not a step I’m willing to take yet
John B looking at the parts list I would say it’s unlikely. However there are two different bars for AWD between FE2 and FE3 suspension. I would be willing to bet the FE3 bar is heaftier and that might be a small upgrade for some.
@@JetFuelOnly thanks for the reply...I have the FE2 SUSPENSION as listed on the build sheet. The entire FE3 suspension upgrade come with new springs also.
Update..The Muff Delete has been nice success with YPipe set up. sounds so nice now also did ZZP intake tube instead of complete CAI. But I do have ? for you do you have Catch Can set up and if so any +/- you can relay share on them from a investment perspective?
For 2014 AWD 3.6 Sedan, do you have any recommendation for rear shocks to tighten up the rear? Any further notes on sway bar for AWD - do we know if the RWD sway bars are different?
I think you are out of luck on suspension parts without going with adjustable coil overs all around. This is the curse of low interest cars. We all have different levels of it to face. I’m amazed that there is still so little suspension choices for the V2 even! The sway bar.... I don’t know what it is that’s different about it. It could be something simple like the brackets on the bushings or something. But for $100 or so it’s not a huge risk to test it. But returning probably isn’t worth it.
Hi, I have a 2014 vsport and I wanted to change out the Cadillac emblems on the front and back of the car. Will the 2015 grill fit on my car with the newer Cadillac emblem?
@@JetFuelOnly -- By "rear end" I am referring to the rear bumper cover. I'm wondering if the CTS-V rear bumper cover will fit the CTS 2.0 model in terms of swapping.
User Spec777 yes it will fit a 2014+ CTS. But you will need the metal crash bar underneath for the tow hook to align with the cover. Also an extra mounting bracket or two. If you have object defection those sensor mounts will need to be moved from your old bumper and glued into the new. Expect around $2000-2500 painted.
I greatly appreciate that you reply back good sir. I think I'll give it some more thought on MufDel. I did get the ZZP ColdAirIntake as well for the 2.0 but I've been seeing in various online post that CAI would more than likely cause lean code P0171 that the L4 are known to get alot and the tune can be costly. In your view is it worth getting CAI if a tune is not going to be done as well?
Not a drifter, but I would assume getting the rear as tight as possible would help. I don't know how our electronic differential would like the drifting.
You can drill another hole 1/2" closer inboard to stiffen the bars as well. Also remember to get shorter sway bar links when lowering your car. It will keep the bar flat level and the geometry correct. Think about how the bar will point upward when the car lowers.🤔
Again and Again you're training video are fantastic - full confidence, lucky UA-cam visitors.
Run a 9.5” front rim and square tire setup

Thoughts on it fitting a 2014 CTS AWD? no mention of it in the video...

I have never come to the conclusion that it’s necessary. If it is helpful, I kinda feel like I’ll never have the car long enough to find out.
Will the after market sway bar or ats v sway bar fit my 2014 Cts 3.6l sedan awd?
I’m not sure about that. The AWD has some differences. In the rear it’s likely, front probably not
@@JetFuelOnly alright thanks. I only wanted the rear sway bar.
@@JetFuelOnly what is the part number for the 26mm ats v sway bar that you installed on your cadilac?

Can I do this with a regular CTS?
Yes

Yes, you need the grill surround and the grill from a 2015-2019
so will the cts-v rear end fit a cts 2.0 model with no problem?
User Spec777 when you say rear ended what are you specifically referring to?

@@JetFuelOnly Perfect! Thanks so much! 😎
Just got me the ZZP Swarbrick another great suggestion you rock. How do you feel about muffler delete on 2.0 CTS.
I’m not sure any 4 cyl sounds good with a muffler delete. I’m not the best person to ask because I still run mostly stock exhaust!
Look into what the 2.0 ATS people do and how their car sounds. Should be the same.

No, I wouldn’t put the intake on without a tune. A tune will really wake your car up though!
You rock! I'll keep it boxed up and will save up for tune. Thinking ZZP but you got Any tune platforms/vendors you can suggest for CTS 2.0?
What would you change for a drift setup instead? Great vid
