    4BW General Questions Thread

    I got 25,000 miles on the Michelins fronts that came on my 2018 ATS-V, but about half that on the rears. All simple street driving and no burnouts.

    CT5-V Dumb Question: Lug Nut Part Number?

    Try and find an online source. Near $60 for four lugnuts is outrageous.

    2023 Brake Upgrades?

    Yes, you can put on ceramic pads. It will cut the dust 80%. Ceramic coating the wheels inside and out when you change the pads cuts the dust the next 19%. That last 1% you have to deal with. There are several threads on here with part numbers, pictures of the brake change and recommendations...

    CT5-V Dumb Question: Lug Nut Part Number?

    Part Nos is 9597846 and the Stealership list price is $13.48 apiece and it extends to 4 for $58.10 w tax. Crazy pricing. This is for my CT4-V BW but I think the studs are the same so the nuts will be also. Ask me how I came to have 4 extra nutz? On my first oil change they wanted to do a...

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    Congratulations, it looks great! For the heck of it I have a nationwide search on Autotrader for the 23 CT4-V BW and look at each one that comes up to see if any have the CF trim. I have seen none that did in 23 except the +$20k special edition models. They all seem to include CF bits...

    2024 Configurator live

    It looks like the carbon fiber packages are back in 24. I have not seen a 23 with them except those 4 special editions and I have been running a nationwide search all year and go look at every one I see that is high $70's. But to be fully equipped it would be mid 80's. My 22 fully equipped...

    Front Plate Paranoia

    I bought a license plate bracket that is mounted on a stalk that screws into the receptacle for the toe hook. It sits forelornly in my truck 7/24. I hope if I ever get stopped the officer will let me grab it out of the trunk and screw it on. My wife isn't as adventuresome so we have hers...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    DC Motors in Anaheim is who buys their used Corvette track cars. They have had this relationship for years. Generally the Cadillacs are given back to Cadillac who auctions them off. BTW, my CT4-V BW had 53,000 miles on it. Josh did promise it wasn't track mileage. Apparently to get enough...

    Yes, Josh mentioned that to us. He even mentioned who had the patent that allows it to be always on.

    CT5-V Low dust pad options?

    I used non oem pads without the sensor opening and just zip tied the sensor out of the way on the brake line. It looks like you can use the sensors up front but not in back and as the front brakes work a lot harder than the rear I wouldn't worry about no sensor on the rear. In fact if you keep...

    Dark Emerald Frost

    I took mine in to a high quality shop to get it PPFd. They had 8 bays and besides my car and 2 new untitled red SF90 Stradales, the other 5 bays had 4 of them getting matte PPF. I asked and they said the folks wanting matte were smart to use the matte film as it is hardy and even if you...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    My 34A had over 52,000 miles on it. Josh said they had to buy some cars used due to constraints last year. So he did say it wasn't 52,000 track miles. But it ran like my 6 month old 5300 mile car, so all was good. More seat time than the 2019 VAcademy. Similar outstanding schedule and...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    There is a well known firearms training academy in Pahrump. It is not at all unusual to see people carrying in holsters around town and in the restaurants.

    Great question. I am sure the instructors have that answer figured out. I will ask when I am there next week.

    CT4-V Break-in for Standard 4BW Brembo Brakes

    I would burnish them or not per the brake pad mfgs recommendations. If OEM no burnishing needed apparently.

    Rear Park Sendor Retrofit

    I also saw the 'recall' posted in my Cadillac.com info. They do need to order the sensors, so can't get it done during my Monday oil change, but it will happen soon. For those needing the recall number it is: N222375790

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Dropped the car off to get film applied. The place had 6 bays and 2 of them were filled with new, not yet registered, red SF90 Stradales. 1 had a Lamborghini race car getting its custom film with all the sponsors applied and the normal host of BMWs getting matte film installed.

    CT5-V Low dust pad options?

    The brake dust went down 80% with the 1521s. Then I ceramic coated the wheels, barrels, spokes and rims and brake dust was literally a thing of the past. I sent you a PM with his name and email address.
