Provides more camber in the rear. About a half degree I think. Plus the piece is more solid so there will be less flex. Since we are not professional racers, I doubt we would notice a difference though.

Nice of the dealership to pick up the tab. Find out if they are just going to align the rear or do a full alignment. I found front settings were quite a bit off from the factory so best to have then do a full alignment. You will need to let them know what kind of alignment you want - street...

You might want to start lurking In the Blackwing General Discussion forum. People seem to post there first that they are thinking of selling. You might get an early jump on a possible sale.

Essex does not have a solution. I contracted them and they require a 5BW for a while to be able to fab something. There might be one option out there. It I have not pursued it yet. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/steel-option-for-ccb-rotors.5860/#post-115670

Brad, congrats on the weight loss. That is a monumental accomplishment.

They come in the trunk of the car. I had the dealer I install and do an alignment. But I was charged for it. Was it supposed to be included as part of the PDI? I could not find any document indicating that.

Anyone have pics of these on BW wheels? I am interested to see how the longer fronts lugs look on stock wheels.

Drift Metallic in a Costco parking lot. Parked as far away from everyone else as I could.

GM Authority just put out a story with some details but omits the timeframe for when the included cars were built. I think CB34 has it right in that it is 2025 models built in calendar year 2024. But would be nice if the story had confirmation...

Thank you. I searched for options and could not find any. So good to know the stock pads are up to track day abuse. I just bought a set of fronts as a spare. I assume the front pads will wear out before the rears.

For those with a '25+ CT5, Savage told me they will have side markers available for our cars by end of May. I was told that around mid-April, so we will see in the next week if their estimate is correct.

I assume the options mentioned above are for the steel rotors. What are the options for CCB? I have not found any brake pads that are specific for the J57 (CCB) rotors other than the GM ones.

Yikes! That is exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me if I had a CF front spoiler.

What did you use for the V1 hardwire? Did you tap into the mirror or some other power source? I bought a Gen5DIY harness I plan to use with a Blendmount. I do not have the car yet to know it will work or how hard it is to install.

There are vendors who sell replica CF pieces. So if you did get a bare BW and just wanted one or two pieces for cheaper than a full CF package. So you could go that route. For example, I did not want a CF front spoiler as I would destroy it getting into my driveway. But I like the CF rear...

Good article that describes why your eyeballs treat a the image from a rear view camera different from a mirror. https://www.theautopian.com/digital-rearview-mirrors-are-garbage-and-i-can-explain-why-with-science/

Good question. I think the max rear camber goes from -1.6 to -2.0. I would think the min would be 0.4 diff as well. I just got the track alignment on my PP car. -2.8 both sides on the front. On the rear with the aluminum toe links, max on one side was -1.9 and the other -2.1

Did OP ever tell us what was his decision? If feel like I have been left hanging. Hopefully this is not one of those ‘how do you keep an idiot in suspense’ posts.

I don’t know about that. His source checks out. Never let me down. :boogie
