    CT5-V For Sale Litespeed Racing Magnesium Alloy Wheels

    Any chance you could post specs on weight, offsets and if running any spacers? I live in Hunters Creek and might be interested.

    CT5-V Carbon Ceramics

    The surface texture on the Gen2 Brembo rotor is different than past CCBs. I wouldn't call mine shiny, but certainly look different from the Prosche PCCB or the C7Z CCB. Did you verify your detailer knows the do's and don'ts of CCB cleaning?

    Aftermarket Wheels for CT5-V Blackwing

    Apex. Can't be beat for price/performance. Fully forged. I also AutoX and Track my car and I am using the apex in 19" OEM fitment. They did have a set of Falken RT660s, but RE-71RS's are being mounted next week...

    Brake wear sensor wire connector

    What poor-sha said. I was able to get the front sensors off and into the new pads with no drama.

    New Lug Nuts?

    McGard or Gorilla. Just make sure you get 14x1.5 with a 60 degree conical seat. A narrower seat (sometimes called 'acorn' style) can actually cut into the wheel and/or damage the finish.

    Updated 5BW OE Brake Pads for J6H = Steel

    As mentioned above. Those aren’t CCB pads. CCBs are made by Pagid and come from Germany.

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    In any manual capable of handling this much torque, some effort/notchiness is normal. On cold days this will be more pronounced than warm ones. Give yourself time to adjust to the feel and the noises.

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    Really sucks this is happening to you and your car. But your experience is an outlier, not the norm. My BW is the 3rd car I have owned with the TR-6060 manual. All of them lived hard lives on the track and AutoX as well as Daily driver duty. All of them functioned perfectly from day 1 to the day...

    Retrofit carbon ceramic brakes?

    CCB to iron is not a simple swap. Sure, the physical items are easy, but the programming involves FAR more than the brake module. You also have to reprogram the MRC. While HP Tuners cracked the ECU, the MRC is still not available for tuning. DSC Sport does have a module for C8/MRC4, but they...

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    These aren't aftermarket warranties. They are GM Warranty extensions.

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    Keep in mind you can shop around for the warranty. That same coverage (7/100k) from the place where I got mine would be $2145.

    CT5-V EQ settings

    100% agree about the XM compression. I have been pretty happy with Apple Lossless. Haven't tried FLAC. Wonder if the unit would support?

    CT5-V EQ settings

    In defense of the AKG, it really does sound better after about 100 hours of break-in.

    CT5-V Speed Sign reading

    Strange system GM is using. In my Hondas, speed limit sign recognition is optical.

    5BW daily driver

    I daily mine. But I don’t drive much. Just broke 7,000 miles and have had 13 months. Looking at MPG, I must be doing it wrong. 😂

    Floor jack for ct5v blackwing

    All the 4-posts I know of are lifts with wheels installed. No 4-posts I know of that let you lift from frame.
