ATS Aftermarket Suspension Guide (aftermarket options list)

[Jackb]

As a lot of us have been looking for suspension upgrades for the ATS searching all over the internet and calling different manufacturers and vendors trying to get any information
I thought it would make sense to create a thread where we could amalgamate all the information (speculations) we are finding about suspension options and create a Sticky where everybody can find out whats coming and when its available

Here is what I could find so far
please feel free to add up any information you may have

H&R:
Nothing in the works for now , however their plans for 2013/2014 vehicles will be released beginning of next year so you might want to monitor their website


FK and ST Coilovers
No plans for this vehicle


Bilstein
Monitoring their website for demand and interest nothing planned as of yet

D3
They have a full race coilover system available but its a full race system for the track junkie price over $3K (looks amazing)




They are also working on a spring set that is supposed to be available in time for Xmas



Eibach:

Eibach PRO-KIT Performance Springs (2013 ATS 3.6L V6) but should also fit 2.0 as its the same suspension

Part Number: 38163.140 (http://www.coloradospeed.com/eibach-...6-p-28691.html)
These have been in the catalog since July 2013 but with no official availability dates

Standard Suspension http://www.standardsuspension.com/suspension_r1.php


I spoke with the owner this week and he tells me demand has been fairly high lately for the ATS and that they plan to release the ATS version of their R1 coilovers early next year in the spring or before if demand continues to be high , This one is very interesting as the product is first class and their pricing is usually very good

FMSR Performance

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...le-though.html

These performancesprings have supposedly been available since June 2013 , but if your read the attach thread they have a weird pricing structure and we can`t find anybody who has tried them yet They are base in Easton, PA so it would be cool if someone could check them out


BWoody Performance
BWoody Performance Cadillac ATS upgraded rear sway bar links $100

From their website :http://bwoodyperformance.com/product...roducts_id=613
"The weakest link of the Cadillac ATS'S suspension is the sway bar links due to the lack of diameter and lack of strength, significant improvments in handling were felt on the test vehicle. Adding these to your vehicle will make your ATS handle like it should!! These are a great uprade to the Independant rear suspension"



Pfadt Race engineering
Spoke with Eric at Pfadt on October 28th and he tell me that engineering is almost done and the figure that they're about 6 weeks out to make their systems available ,
they will offer 2 kits 1 for standard suspensions and 1 for MRC , no pricing for now but the MRC system will be expensive


BC Racing http://www.bcracing-na.com/
They are working on a version of their BR Type coilovers for ATS 6-8 weeks out at this time , (will definitely be out for spring and will sell for about 1K$ )

Ride height on the D3 system is perfect for anyone who wants to lower their ATS enough but still have good wheel and ground clearance, it's the daily driver setup.

Wow thanks for taking the time to put that together. Wonder if anyone has the D3 system and how "Race car" like it really is.

If you are going to contact standard suspension you might as well contact BC Racing. They have a CTS suspension.

D3 is just amazing, after watching the video's below you shouldn't need to be convinced any more:

The D3 system certainly is amazing however not everyone is interested in the ride compromise you need to make on a full race suspension and willing to spend over $3500 on a set of coilovers
that's why its important to know everything is available

[cfrp]

Agreed. The BC Racing coilovers will be a good value.

I've had them before on a E46. They actually ride well and reduce body roll.

You can also choose your own spring rates for BC Racing for free. And if you need a replacement they will sell you just 1 coilover for $250.
