Do you mean the rotor shields? Not the brake ducts that clip on to the rear suspension? I've had the big shields off on the front since new, with the little tomahawk shaped track shield installed instead, and both shields off on the back for the last year. I did not put the plastic ducts onto...

I'll second talking with Ken at KNS. Nothing magic about OEM. Rotors may be fine too, worth checking thickness. It's possible the dealer just said new rotors so they could sell new rotors. If you are talking about front and rear everything that pricing sounds about right. But really high if...

According to the quickjack measuring guide and some past users here, quickjack generally and the ELX specifically works for the ct4. I am hoping someone can share advice based on their successful experience. The main challenge I see relates to the CT4 weirdness of having to lift on the rear...

Thanks for the replies. Consensus here (earlier threads) seemed to be to get the ELX. Others like @Melon had found the SLX and (for the CT5) even the TLX too short. I would guess the TLX would work for a ct4 but can't confirm.

I just purchased a 6000 ELX to use with my CT4. Does anyone have any tips on how to position it and if any block other than what is included would be best? It looks like I have to push the front of the frame all the way up against the front tire for it to line up with the lifting points on the...

To get the track alignment (CT4 only) with more camber, you need to punch out that pin visible in the strut tower. That allows the strut to slide. It's a simplified version of what you would get with an aftermarket camber plate. This is all detailed in the manual if the tech bothers to read it...

@maxm50 the second 'loudest' exhaust setting has nearly the same valves open profile as track. But only very minimal pops and bangs and much less artificial noise from the speakers. Off memory the only difference in valves open is part throttle below 2500 rpm and in six gear. Also the valves...

Hasn't gotten worse and didn't talk to the dealer. it's just something the car has consistently done in certain rare but predictable situations. Based on talking to other owners, it sounds like all the CT4s do the same thing so I can only guess it's part of the cars programming, for whatever...

Almost 2 years after my first post on this thread, and still experiencing the same high idle issue in those sorts of situations. Never using rev match. I have a Corsa exhaust now, and a side effects of a louder exhaust is realizing how often the idle speed does something wacky. It's a small...

I don't think it is an issue with the 4, I was able to get the track spec rear camber and toe without any problem.

Thanks @Neebs ! That's good news.

@Neebs it's a great question, you aren't alone with the overall issue even if 1.5 days is maybe a bit to do with driving style. I think anyone is going to wear out the outside shoulder first at the stock max camber and not get great tire life. The fast Camaro and atsv drivers are running...

To the original poster's question, the factory street alignment spec is not aggressive. But, these cars sometimes come from the factory with an alignment way out of spec so it may be a good idea to get an alignment. @AC2024 "before" alignment is an example, my car was similar, it came with too...

Greetings all, I've been living with the Corsa cat-back exhaust since early October on my manual transmission CT4 BW and it's time for a review! I attended the Corsa tour arranged through our Columbus Cadillac V-Club chapter and with the help of Tapout Tuning. Corsa needed one more car for a...

Hi all - after eight track days, I had my alignment checked and my rear toe had changed dramatically from the original track alignment. I'm late to the party in realizing this is a known problem with the alpha platform. Has anyone used SPL rear toe links on a CT4? ATS-V version probably? I...
