I'm driving a CT4VBW and I’m selling some ATSV never used (still in original boxes) front & rear rotors / front & rear pads / braided brake lines front & rear for $1,600 obo.
What would cause the brakepads to wear this way? These are the pads that came from factory. Referring to the missing material on the corners opposite of the pin inserts.
...until the next brake change. With this in mind, if my rotors are within spec (going to get it looked at this week), I was wondering what brakepads to get? OEM ones seem quite expensive and hard to come by. I don’t want to compromise stopping power so I understand if I must go with OEM but...
A few days ago i started getting a message on the DIC that says my brakepads have been replaced and would i like to reset the pad life? Its a yes or no question so i tell it "no" with a check mark and it keeps popping back up. My car is a 23 with 24k miles - i have not replaced the pads nor...
...I use brake cleaner and scrub the rotors, and then do some hard braking, it dramatically improves. I really believe it's a behavior of the brakepads. When I go out and actually drive the car hard and burn up the brakes (I get on a back road and brake from 60-25 a few times) it improves. For...
GM has two part numbers for CT4. I don’t know what the difference is between them and does it matter which one I pick? Only one is available at the moment.

At AMP (Atlanta Motorsport Park), I experienced significant brake fade after about 45 minutes of intense lapping. Along with changing the brake fluid, I wanted to change the stock pads for my next HPDE event. Just wondering what anyone tried…
I’ll repeat this question during the upcoming Tech...
I have had this issue since 10k miles (25k now). I bought the car new. Some folks on here have said that it’s due to not braking hard enough. That’s certainly not me as I definitely generally brake a bit harder than one probably should on the street and the car does see some lapping time.
I’ve...
In case anyone is searching for the CCB front brakepads, GM has an updated part number.
Old: 85143795
New: 86804586
Still made by Pagid. You can tell them apart by the numbers on the back. Old pads are N22 and new pads are N23. Price has just about doubled.
I want to change the brakepads as the dust is crazy. When going to a pad that doesn't have the sensor, is there a light on the dash that comes on? If so, does it stay on?
Probably going to go with Power Stop Z23-405 and Z26-1053 as I believe these will fit correctly but no sensor.
Any help...
I'm in the process of installing carbon ceramic brake rotors and pads on my 2023 5BW. I've ordered replacement caliper mounting bolts, since they are single-use, torque-to-yield.

...wear quicker on these type of cars because of how the drivers "beat" on them. First of all, I don't "beat" on my car and I think he was just trying to upsell me on brakepads. **** When it is time for brakepads, are the GM stock pads any good or should I look for something better ? Thanks.
...things I've noticed. There is a kind of "groaning" from the brakes under light pedal pressure at low speed. I suspect it's because the brakepads have a sharp, 90-degree leading and trailing edge, instead of a tapered-at-45-degrees leading and trailing edge like the factory iron pads. Or...

Like everything else, brakepads have gone up in price dramatically over the last few years. I would ask Ken at KNS Brakes what he would recommend for your use case.
I think this a fair price even with the miles. As for collectabilty....only time will tell. I have 39/99 with 10k miles on it 2k being track miles at the Watkins Glen/Lime Rock. Other than tires/brakepads it's held up well.
...20,000 miles, there are two problems:
I had three catalytic converters replaced
Brakes already worn thin — other than dealers, replacement brakepads are challenging
First catalytic converter replaced was defective.
Second and third were the result of the first replacement not being "broken...
Some pads are not recommended to be bedded aggressively. I replaced the OEM pads on my 5BW with Carbotech 1521s and was specifically told not to bed them. The recommendation was to just drive normally for the first 300 miles. Aggressive bedding on those pads can glaze the compound and actually...
I'm using Porterfield AP2444 R4 pads and am very happy with them. These are supposedly a "track only" pad, but I find them to be fine on the street. They're a $359 pad, but not what I would recommend. I'm setup now for track days. You would use the AP2444 R4-S pads for $199. Replace your...
