    CT4-V Girodisc brake job + general maintenance at 61K miles

    ...noticed you only did the front brakes. How were the rear? I, along with 122 other BW owners nation wide are waiting on rear brembo brake pads. They are backlogged apparently. I've been without my BW since nov.18th due to no rear brake pads available. I thought I could do an end around on the...

    Anyone done this color combo?

    When I'm in the driveway washing my bronze wheels I have to hose the concrete down after from all the brake dust. In the spring I plan to swap pads when I'm swapping to summer wheels.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    Welcome to the club! RE Track: You only need to change the brake fluid. The OEM brake pads are up to track abuse. Unlike many other "performance" vehicles, the 5BW is track-ready straight out of the box (except the brake fluid). I've had mine twice at Carolina Motorsports Park (eats brake pads)...

    Wow, that’s impressive then. I agree, the OE ones are great all around brakes. Just don’t like the brake dust. Hats off to Cadillac for developing great OE brakes, especially the CCB as an option on the 5BW. Wonder if the Ferodo DS2500 are any better than the OE ones in terms of brake dust...

    Anyone done this color combo?

    I noticed that also. When just giving my BW a regular washing, there is a ton of black brake dust on the concrete , even though the wheels appeared clean. I put power stop rotors and brakes on my Challenger and its a huge difference in less brake dust. I need to see if they make pads to fit...

    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.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    Chicago chiming in. 50/60/70's forecasted next week! Hoping UPS is accurate with a saturday delivery so I can ceramic them before they go on. Planning to replace pads while wheels are off. I'm done with brake dust.

    Long term reliability of the 5BW LT4 unmodified

    I was going to say. I bet that requires a lot of highway miles.

    CT5-BW Brake Wear

    Nope the 22-5BW did not come with the pad life % monitor feature like your V for some unknown reason at $100k...they do have a wear sensor that triggers a "dummy light" on the dash. If your not tracking @FLYARMY , NO WAY you need pads with that millage. What you do need a better...

    Brake Failure at 24K Miles

    I've got a #44 vin from MY22 with about 40k miles and no brake issues (of course I've changed the pads and rotors once and brake fluid 2-3 times during the past few years.)

    CT4-V Brake ducts install

    Makes sense, I ran with track alignment and have great tire wear. Nothing on the edges at all. Brakes I did notice crazy dusting but still looks like good pad life (only 6k miles, 2 track days) Thanks great insight. I guess I just need to get under the car and see

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    White may be a pedestrian color in some eyes, the devil is in the details and you can see each detail of a beautifully designed CT5-V BW pop against the Summit White....Nothing gets lost to the eyes. Easy to keep clean BTW. Best wishes with your choice, enjoy. As for the CCB option..... if your...

    CT4-V Brake ducts install

    Do you mean the rotor shields? Not the brake ducts that clip on to the rear suspension? I've had the big shields off on the front since new, with the little tomahawk shaped track shield installed instead, and both shields off on the back for the last year. I did not put the plastic ducts onto...

    Brake pad install questions

    Thanks guys. Just finished burnishing them in. Took about 2.5 hours from driving on a 2x6 to dropping it down. Since everything was off, extra time to clean the calipers and wheels. It was literally the easiest brake pad install I've ever done. I put the Power Stop pads in and they seemed...

    Dealer says my 2023 CT4-V B/W with 14K miles needs rear break pads replaced? I love this car and a pretty gentle driver.

    Im confused…. Look at the brake pads. Take a picture and post here if you're unsure.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    3 weeks and very happy with the results. The OCD is back in ck with minimal brake dust after numerous drive cycles and street pulls.. Ken at KNS Brakes is a good resource for applications both street and strip. Great guy to talk too. Learn, and I'm grateful for that! Carbo Tech 1521 for street...
