is there any cadillac aftermarket support?

the product im looking for is for an 05+ cadillac STS and Im having trouble sourcing parts, coilovers or air, body kit and any other accessories?

Or does it lack aftermarket support?

Thank you

i own an 08 sts-v. parts are very limited. d3 was the main manufacturer for custom parts but most of the sts stuff has been discontinued. there is no body kit anymore, the suspension is really tight for air bags, but i am planning on seeing if i can custom fit cts-v coils (it's been done before but i'm exploring a better route). about the only stuff you're going to find is performance oriented.

bummer. thats one upgrade I dont prefer to do. I knew that D3 did support the Cadillac, but was hoping there was another company that I wasnt able to find. Sounds like I found a dead end.

I seen your fender bender. I know how it feels. Why is there more support for the CTS than the STS?

cts is cheaper and there was a popular performance variant. i think if they put an ls in the sts-v instead of a northstar it might have boosted sales a bit.

yeah, the ls powered cts-v killed the sts-v. it's cheaper and outperforms the sts. the s/c northstar was used in the sts-v and xlr-v because they wanted their flagship cars to be all cadillac.

ls powered xlr would have been bananas.
