    CT4 Jacking points

    Don't use those spots https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/jacking-up-your-blackwing.2554/page-16#post-80764 https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/jacking-up-your-blackwing.2554/page-6#post-57447 IRT CT4 in general, Mirza did provide a pretty detailed description of where to lift...

    Signature Wheel's Cadillac Blackwing Adventures

    I am not. Though, I haven't tried either. Might fit but you'd risk scratching. Here's some closeups of front and rear

    CT5-V Blackwing 6-sp (2022) surging during normal driving

    How did you convince them to do the work? My local dealer won't do it unless they can replicate the problem (which I understand, but that means potentially keeping my car for days or weeks)

    Square All-Seasons and 1-1.5” Lift?

    I'm Seattle area. Have had my 5BW since Nov '21, so two full winters. It's my daily (relatively speaking, I commute 3 days a week and use the XT5 for everything else) and gets driven pretty much whatever the weather is. For whatever reason, I've had considerably less issues in this than I did...

    People with the Sky Cool Gray seats; any regrets?

    15k miles on mine. I used 303 Leather quite a lot early on. Pretty much every 2 weeks. Since then maybe every other month now. This photo is from Oct 2023, the red cast is legit, seemed to be dye transfer from a red flannel I've got. Have since cleaned it off. The 303 Leather cleaner does a...

    I see a lot of people not liking the sunroof option

    Mine's my daily driver first and track second. I personally really enjoy having a sunroof, so mine has it. That said, I absolutely don't fit in a 4BW with a sunroof. Helmet againt on the roof. Luckily in the 5 it's fine. It's a consideration if you plan to track it.

    Fender Bender

    Suspension components aside, get a quote from a paintless dent repair shop if the damage isn't too much. I had something very similar happen and all of the traditional shops were estimating $4k-$6k, they were going to repaint the entire rear portion of the car including blending through the...

    CT5-V Satin Steel Metallic Blackwing & With Bronze Wheels

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    +1 for this option. It's not exactly what y'all are looking to do but my winter tires are on the OEM wheels and summers on Signature wheels. No messing around with spacers or clearance concerns.

    Spring Mountain Track Times

    East w/ bowl today. East long course tomorrow. Number of laps is more or less time dependent. A faster group will get more laps. But give or take about 12 laps total per session? Track/AutoX/Class Lunch Track/AutoX/Launch control AutoX finals (top 9 compete) Demo laps "Graduation" and AutoX results

    Get PPF today!!

    I have the equivalent of the track pack on mine. If I had gone full coverage it could have even been a cost savings in the long run. I got side swiped, and though paintless dent repair and buffing largely fix it. But PPF would have kept this simply at dent removal.

    CT5 Tier 2 vs Tier 3 interior

    I've got 2 years on mine (well, in a couple of weeks) Mid level Sky Cool Grey. Daily driver, about 1.5 hours of seat time per day. 13k miles. Initially I was very worried about dye transfer. I used 303 leather complete care on it weekly (or at least every other week). I haven't cleaned the...
