Read before you buy
The F2 Function & Form Type 4 Coilovers Kit for the Cadillac CT6 (2016–2020) is a premium, benchmade suspension upgrade engineered specifically for CT6 owners who demand more from their full-size luxury sedan. Built around an inverted monotube shock design and manufactured to order in Japan, this kit replaces the CT6's factory suspension with a performance-tuned system that offers independent ride height adjustment and a broad 24-step damping spectrum — giving you genuine control over how your CT6 rides and handles. Whether you're chasing a refined lowered stance or dialing in a more aggressive driving character, the Type 4 represents Function & Form's flagship coilover offering for this platform.
Key Features & Benefits
- Inverted Monotube Shock Design: The inverted configuration places the larger-diameter housing at the top, increasing damper strength and optimizing performance during aggressive suspension movement — a meaningful advantage over conventional non-inverted designs on a heavier luxury platform like the CT6.
- 40mm Inverted Piston: The larger piston diameter improves damper rigidity and response consistency, helping maintain composure under hard cornering or spirited driving without sacrificing day-to-day livability.
- Long-Stroke Design for Added Travel: Engineered with a long stroke to preserve suspension travel, so your CT6 doesn't sacrifice ride quality or bottom out prematurely when lowered.
- 24-Step Damping Spectrum (One-Way Adjustable): Dial in exactly the ride character you want — from a more compliant daily-driver setting to a firmer, more connected feel — with 24 distinct damping clicks accessible without removing the coilovers.
- Independent Ride Height Adjustment: Ride height adjusts independently from spring preload, so you can set your desired drop without inadvertently stiffening the spring rate — a key advantage for achieving a proper stance without compromising suspension geometry.
- Large Fluid Valve Assembly & Oil Chambers: The aggressively tuned internal valving and ample oil capacity are designed to resist fade during sustained hard use, maintaining consistent damping response over time.
- Benchmade to Order in Japan: Each kit is hand-assembled to order, reflecting Function & Form's commitment to quality control at the individual unit level rather than mass-produced off a shelf.
- 2-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by Function & Form's 2-year limited warranty for peace of mind on a significant suspension investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this kit fit both AWD and RWD versions of the Cadillac CT6?

Function & Form also offers a separate AWD-specific SKU (47500216A) — contact our team to confirm which variant is correct for your drivetrain.
Q: Do I need to disable my CT6's electronic damping system before installing these coilovers?
A: Yes — this is a manufacturer requirement. The CT6's electronic damping control must be deactivated as part of the installation process. If your CT6 is equipped with an active magnetic ride or electronic damping system, work with a qualified installer who is experienced with Cadillac CT6 suspension to ensure proper deactivation before fitting the Type 4 kit.
Q: How long will it take to receive this kit after ordering?
A: This is a special-order, benchmade product manufactured in Japan. The lead time is 16–24 weeks from the date of order. Please plan accordingly — this is not a stocked, ships-immediately item. If you have a time-sensitive project, reach out to our team before placing your order so we can set accurate expectations.
Q: What spring rates does the Type 4 use on the CT6?
A: The Type 4 kit for the Cadillac CT6 uses 12k (672 lbs/in) front springs and 8k (448 lbs/in) rear springs. These are firm, performance-oriented rates suited to a lowered or track-focused setup on the CT6 platform. If you primarily drive on imperfect road surfaces and prioritize daily comfort, discuss your use case with our team to make sure the Type 4 is the right tier for your goals.

Function and Form CADILLAC CT6 (16+) Type 4 Coilovers Kit FAQ
It is listed for: 2016-2019 CADILLAC CT6; 2016-2020 CADILLAC CT6; 2017-2019 CADILLAC CT6 and more (see the full list above). Pick your vehicle on this page to check your exact year and trim.
Ride height is set on the threaded body or the lower mount, and the damping (how firm the shock feels) with the adjuster when the kit has one. Some kits also let you set spring preload and camber at the top mount. The Part details above list what this exact kit adjusts.
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe, so have the car aligned once the height is set and the suspension has settled after a short drive.
Set all four corners before the alignment, keep the drop inside the maker's range, and re-check the height after the first drive because the springs settle. Going lower than the maker recommends costs ride quality and tire life.
The car settles a little over the first few drives. After that, re-check the ride height, the lock rings on the collars and the top-mount hardware, then get the alignment done.
Yes. Most coilovers are built for daily use when set to the maker's recommended height and a softer damping setting. Track-focused series ride firmer.
Yes — monthly options show right under the Add to Cart button. Affirm, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and Snap Finance are offered at checkout, and checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.
It gives you a broad range of damping settings to tune how the CT6 rides and handles, along with independent ride height adjustment.
The larger-diameter housing sits at the top, which the description says increases damper strength.
It is manufactured to order in Japan, so lead times apply. See the chassis listing for details.
Install and care: coilovers
Before you start
- Read the maker's guide and note the recommended ride-height range for your car.
- Book an alignment for after the install; the car needs one.
Do
- Set all four corners to the same drop before the alignment and re-check the height after the first drive.
- Keep the threads clean and lightly lubricated so the collars still turn next season.
Don't
- Don't go lower than the maker's range; it costs ride quality and tire life.
- Don't skip the alignment.
