Exclamation Need a Little Help for Higher Performance/Handling on 2000 DTS

Remove this ad
I recently purchased a 2000 DTS with only 34,000 miles and really good shape. I also pickup up a set of Eibach springs for same....I'd like to know if there are any Urathane bushing sets available, thicker sway bars available to tighten up things in the twisties a bit and upgraded brakes/roters for bringing it all down to earth after a flight???

Also, are there any chip reprogramers for this version of the Northstar for added pep??

Any other ideas for improving handling and performance are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Thanks in advance for the advice

Re: Need a Little Help for Higher Performance/Handling on 2000 DTS

i am planning to get a get a set of the springs as well. make it rid firmer.
other then that i am ttoaly happy with the the car in terms of its sportyness.
remeber it is 5072 Lbs.. its Heavy!... for the car it handels it self pretty damn awesome. i have put mine through its paces and even tho it seems to have body roll and such on, on ramps ... let me tell you that when you get it moving it doesnt seem to give you any more roll and it will fight back.

Re: Need a Little Help for Higher Performance/Handling on 2000 DTS

For this series of FWD Cadillacs (2000+ 4.6 Northstar) there are no chips, programmers, magic spark plugs, CAI (it already has a perfectly good installation), cams, transmission tuners, throttlebodies, MAF's, nothing. All in here and down in Northstar Performance, posted for years.

Change to a WIX air filter: more media, more surface area, less restriction.

Take a look at www.corsaperformance.com and then go to www.autopartswarehouse.com.

The car doesn't need them, but take a look at www.ebcbrakes.com and get to their slotted USR Black Dash rotors and Redstuff pads.

Remember that the car already has a sophisticated active suspension system - do some Google reading on "cvrss" or "constantly variable road sensing suspension" before you get carried away. The OEM parts are scary expensive, so beware. Look at www.rockauto.com.
