    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    Eh, I'm not looking to find out at 140mph. Brake fade on street pads sucks. It's a very steep drop off. I'll also probably drain half the coolant and fill with distilled water and water wetter or something.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    The shop is the reason it was in the shop so long. I had a 3rd party warranty and they TWICE tried to get it voided so they could screw me on rates (they tried to bill me above book time). When the inspector was there checking out the front air shock, they mentioned to him that I had a tune for...

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    I just got this car and I'm really enjoying it. A few highlights and low-lights after 2.5 days. It's an M6 with carbon seats and carbon interior, super low miles (4k) Highs: Engine. Duh. Nuff said. Build quality is surprisingly good. It's solid, the interior is awesome. Vented seats actually a...

    CT5-V Retrofitting carbon ceramic brakes to 5BW?

    Just a ceramic pad. I'm sure other brands like stoptech made them too. Lucky for you, they're on clearance! I just grabbed 2 sets. Hard to argue against at $105 a set. https://www.knsbrakes.com/products/car/111093_2022+Cadillac+CT5-V+Blackwing+-+Iron+Discs/items/series/1115

    CT5-V Retrofitting carbon ceramic brakes to 5BW?

    Not a huge fan of Hawk, as they go very fast and their dust is extremely abrasive, but they certainly wont fade. I went with Carbotech myself, but haven't run them yet. I woke up too lazy to go the track this morning, lol.

    You shouldn't use low dust on the track, nor should you use OEM. Race pads for the track, street pads for the street.

    Track rats rejoice!

    Seems kind of silly to use them. No one gets a CT5 BW primarily as a track car. They're not good street tires and they're basically just hero lap tires on the track. They can't go 3-4 laps on much lighter and less powerful GT3's before getting greasy. I doubt they'd do 2 on a BW.

    Just get the new knuckles, solid bushings and stuffer sway bars. You dont need to replace the whole car.

    Just run low dust pads. It's more or less the first mod I do to all my cars.
