INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HERE
For those of you who share the love of speed and wanted more from your CTS, we have been putting countless hours into the development, design, prototype, redesign, and manufacturing of a rear lockout kit tailored for 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS V-Sport (V6TT, +420HP). After considering countless variables, we believe we have created a kit with the perfect blend of excellent fitment, performance, and value in an easy to install package.
REVELRY RACING’s RK002 subframe lockout kit virtually eliminates vertical and lateral subframe movement and severely reduces the fore-aft movement that causes the uncontrolled yaw under WOT conditions. Our kit will give a driver a far more planted and secure feel from the rear axle in ALL conditions with a simple, bolt in solution that takes about 3 hours without creating any excessive NVH. In fact, most people do not notice any increase in road noise, etc.
This is THE most effective bolt in solution available for the Alpha chassis and we are the first and only ones offering it for the the Alpha platform Cadillacs!!!
Our standard shipping service is USPS priority mail to US addresses only, with your orders leaving in two business days. Please contact us if you need expedited or international shipping.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
Kits are 100% Made in the USA with components from KY, MO, WI and NV and include: custom machined Delrin inserts tailored to fit the unique bushings combination used on all CTS sedans (except V3) from 2014-2019; heavy duty, T-304 stainless steel retaining plates to lock the subframe up against the unibody for improved ride and cornering, while having ultimate strength and corrosion resistance, and; cadmium-plated steel alignment washers ensure your subframe is closer to true center under the unibody, as you fasten the subframe to the unibody. Summed up, this kit is the maximum possible bolt-in solution to lock down your rear axle!
Cadillac used a variety of bushing combinations and this particular kit was specially designed for the V-Sport. While lower horsepower turbo-4 cylinder and V6/LGX powered CTS models do not typcially have the power to cause the sway issue that the larger horsepower cars see, they will still absolutely benefit from the increase ride quality and handling with this kit, as will AWD cars.
If you are after street performance, drag racing, roll racing, HPDE or simply a spirited drive on your favorite roads and want a more connected, positive driving experience in your car, this is THE place to start!

History that brought us to design and develop this kit. . . While drag racing the Hella V (instal @hella_VS) with about 100,000 miles on the odometer, we experienced severe wheel hop. This can be severe and damage expensive components like axles, hubs and differentials ($$$). When you launch a car, the subframe is pushed forward, against the soft factory bushings. When tires break traction, the load on the bushing goes away and the subframe quickly is pushed back to its static position. This is worse on the longitudinal axisWith the throttle still floored, the subframe reloads again until tires slip again, and this cycle violently repeats itself. Without changing something in the chassis, this cycle only ends when you regain traction or because you broke somehting. So, this set us off in search of what do to about this.
Then, a few months later on a highway in Mexico, we noticed that the car began severely yawing to one side at WOT. It was as if the car had a rudder, steering from the back. This was unnerving and made a track day at Buttonwillow Raceway in California very challenging, especially at the Riverside turn, with a braking zone entry at 120mph leading into a big banked turn. Here, powering out under WOT with the uncontrolled sway sent us lateral and nearly out of control a few times. On the street or at some tracks, this could send you into a curb, off the edge of a roadway, into a wall, or worse, hurting yourself or others.
We realized the issue in both instances was the rear subframe. Cadillac basically used marshmallows. You can cut them out and replace them with solid poly or alumninum, but it is loud, permanent, takes half a day or more for a shop to do it, is expesnive to install and irreversible, plus they add NVH to an otherwise comfy car! Our kits lock your subframe to the unibody, eliminating 80-90% of subframe movement. It resolved our wheel hop and yaw issues. What we didn’t expect was improved the ride quality and we were shocked at how it greatly improved cornering! The car rotates significantly better than it ever could have before.
These kits can be installed on the garage floor in about 3 hours with basic hand tools.
Let us know if there are any items you’d specifically like to see for your V-Sport.

V-Sport RK002 UPDATE 11/7/2024 - Hella V obtained 1:55s at Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, CA.
V-Sport RK002 UPDATE 7/27/2024 - We had a good solid test day at Laguna Seca on Saturday, four sessions, most about 18-25 miles each with many solid, all out attack laps to evaluate the most recent rear lockout kit insert designs. Simultaneously, we were also evaluating a jump up to ATS-V front brakes and V2 rear brakes. The results were exactly what we hoped for! Our car (the Hella V, insta @hella_vs) car tracks straight and true at WOT. We are absolutely satisfied with the result and hope to be moving along with them soon.
V-Sport RK002 UPDATE 7/26/2024 - V-Sport prototypes installed in Hella V. Fit was snug. On to Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA. Set 1:49s time with Trifecta engine software, Swift Springs, ZZP trailing arms, ATS-V front and CTS-V rear brakes with Carbotech XP12.
V-Sport RK002 UPDATE 7/23/2024 - Our V-Sport prototypes are inbound and should be fitted to a vehicle by the end of the month.
