2 Answers
Whether to modify CT4 with V1 or V2 depends on personal needs. V1 achieves around 6.3 seconds but is more affordable, while V2 reaches approximately 5.9 seconds but is relatively more expensive. Below are specific details about Cadillac: 1. Background: Cadillac is a luxury automobile brand under General Motors in the United States, synonymous with high quality and luxury in North America. Over the past century, Cadillac has pioneered numerous industry firsts and set countless luxury vehicle standards. Renowned for its pursuit of ultimate prestige, it has been honored by the Royal Automobile Club in London as the 'World Standard.' Cadillac combines a century of history with the ingenuity of generations of designers, establishing itself as a leading brand in the automotive industry. 2. Strategy: The introduction of Cadillac's online auction platform has made previously 'invisible' processes completely transparent, effectively eliminating under-the-table operations and fostering a fair and mutually trusting relationship between buyers and sellers. Cadillac's entry into this market signifies the official foray of American luxury brands into the used car business, heralding the formation of a '3+1' competitive landscape.
I've personally modified the suspension system of my Cadillac CT4, using both Bilstein V1 and V2, and overall, the V2 feels better because it comes with adjustable damping, which is super practical for those who pursue handling. Especially when driving on curves or highways, the CT4's chassis responds more sensitively, and tire grip is significantly improved, greatly reducing body roll. Although the V2 is a bit more expensive, its performance stability is stronger in the long run, adapting to different road conditions like rain or gravel, avoiding the discomfort of the fixed damping of the V1 in certain scenarios. I recommend going straight for the V2 if the budget allows—it can save you money on future maintenance since the adjustable components are more durable. Don't skimp on installation; hire a professional to ensure proper spring matching and tire alignment to maximize potential and avoid damaging the suspension core. Overall, from the perspective of driving pleasure and reliability, the V2 is a wise choice.
