So as stated in the other thread here: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/2004-2007-cadillac-cts-v-performance/241681-wide-wheels-rubbing-your-trailing-arms.html I'm going to be building these for forum members.

Prices include US shipping:

LEVEL .5 : $225 ($150 when core refunded) Sets In stock: 0
Stock arms with Ballistic Fabrication flex joint. No kink, fits stock wheels. Powder coated in your choice of: Black, Silver, White, Clear (natural metal color), or Burgundy

LEVEL 1 : $200 ($125 when core refunded) Sets In stock: 1
Stock arms with stock bushings. Mild kink in the arm for 19+" x 10" wide wheels to easily clear. Only the best cores I get will use this option as I want you guys to have good factory bushings. These might be limited in supply because I'm not going to sell arms with rotten bushings. Check with me before sending the paypal. Painted black rather than powder coated because I can't put the parts in an oven with the rubber bushings.

LEVEL 2: $350 ($275 when core refunded) Sets In Stock: 1
Stock arms with Ballistic Fabrication flex joints (beefy!!!). Mild kink in the arm for 19+" x 10" wide wheels to easily clear. Powder coated in your choice of: Black, Silver, White, Clear (natural metal color), or Burgundy (those are the powders I got :))

LEVEL 3: $TBA
Will be custom arms, for those wanting to run much wider wheels. I don't have anything wider than 10", so I have no idea yet how much it will take to make ridiculous wheels fit. If anyone has any other wheel sizes they are interested in fitting, let me know and I'll see if I can make it work. Right now, I think most people are just having problems with the Linea Corse wheels fitting.

CORE REFUND: $75 Sets In Stock: 0
Sell me your cores! I need these to keep this going. Even if you aren't buying arms.

If you are interested in a set, there will be a little queue here and status updates on how many cores I have, how many I need, and general progress reports. Keep in mind guys, I have a day job, a slow core supply chain, and a small shop. Order time will be lengthy, but you will get your parts.

First come, first served. Paypal to [email protected] with your forum handle, color request (for level 2) and whether or not you will have a core coming back. Please put this in the notes in paypal!!! It helps me keep track of who got theirs in the forum. No need to PM, my box will just become overrun. I'll update in this thread.

ORDER QUEUE
1. FuzzyLogic (thanks for all you've done man!) - Level 2

UPDATE: I'm currently looking to start a fabrication/race shop with a talented group of guys for the sole purpose of doing projects like this. I've been pretty busy with commercial real estate guys and trying to get something organized. I promise that one of my first tasks will be disassembling my V and building jigs for a whole suite of fabricated parts (control arms, diff braces, diff swaps, bracing, bushings, etc). Be patient guys!
sounds great! will certainly be ready when the time comes!
I'd be in for a set of level 2's if you make some more, black or red is fine.
Haha it's been a few months. What's a few more lol. Take your time. Rather you get it done right than rush n mess it up and my car falls apart

Then you need to buy an ATS-V before I get one so you're ready to do some things on it. :)
How much for some level 3's. eventually wanna fit a 10.5 or 11 inch wheel

If they are still being made thread way to long to read through
Not being produced ATM. Working on getting a fabrication/performance shop started so I can more readily take on these projects.
So, since you're not making these right now, and I'll have my subframe down in a few days, what size ballistic joint are you using? I'd like to tighten this part of the car up.
I posted all of this information earlier in the thread.

9/16" (our fasteners may be metric, but the hole is actually slightly larger in diameter than 14mm. So 9/16"). Also, I turn and weld a stainless steel spacer on the ball because the ball is too narrow. You can see the spacer in some of the pics of the trailing arms.
rough estimate of when ya might be up and runnin again? got almost everyting for my build minus rear end components and most are on the way. just wondering if i should hold off on ordering trailin arms
I am more then willing to also pick up a set of state 3 rear trailing arms if you are up and running and making them again. :)
I emailed him last week and he said once he is up and running he will be making these again...so it is just about patience. I'm sure once he has them again he will let us know.
I'm in for a set of Level 2's when available
Add me to the list for the Level 3's when available!
Noodle, do you have an estimated date (month) when you think you'll be back in production?
Put me on the list for a set of Lever 2's. When will this be available?
