I want to confirm if the brake calipers are the same between CT5 BW's with the CC and iron packages. Can I upgrade to a set of CC rotors in place of my iron rotors with no modifications? I think there is only a 2mm difference diameter between the rotors, which would only be 1mm closer to the...
Yeah yall, this hurts. If anyone knows a good lawyer in GA that will take a property damage/negligence/emotional damage/fxxk valet/sue everybody case let me know. As yall saw I have the PDR and surround view footage. It shows there was no reason to move the car off the lot. The Valet company has...
Ok I know that CC brakes don't rust, but that is just the rotor. I assume the pads have some metal and would rust. After a track day wash, I have a lot of brown dust (which look like rust) on my wheels. I cleaned the rims yesterday and after one highway drive the wheels are coated in the brown...
Side note for any one wondering the weight of the stock CT5 V Blackwing rims.
Stock:
Fronts: 19x10 ET 20 28.8 lbs
Rears: 19x11 ET 50 28.2 lbs
The rear being lighter surprised me. I think the 50 offset shaved more off the hub VS the 20 offset and that is where the lower weight came...
I think you could easily fit 295s up front. Especially with the right offset to push the front out some. I don't know if it will hurt the track times due to shifting the track of the car, but it can be done.
Yes I actually have the Savage hood in my garage now. I just need to get it painted before I install it. It looks really good. Fitment is not perfect, but aftermarket parts never really are.
Had the fin wrapped in black also. So the entire roof matches.
The specs on the rims are below.
Front 19x10 ET 20 (8mm spacer with extended studs.)
Rear 19x11.5 ET 48
Yes the wrap on the roof is gloss black. She is coming along pretty well.
The G3 CTS-V hood is coming next. I want to get the OEM style CF front splitter also. If anyone knows a great place to get this please let me know.
Also I installed the swift springs from Tapout, and the rim specs are...
Thanks! It has been a process, but she is coming along.
I am doing the G3 CTS-V hood next and also want to get the CF front splitter. If someone knows a good place to get the CF splitter please let me know!
Ok finally have good pics of the stance after installing the 8mm spacer in the front. A 12mm offset on the 19x10 would be PERFECT, but of course Apex didn't have that for GM fitments. I am going go with wider tires eventually also. Thinking 285 in the front and 315 in the rear for the square...
I kinda posted this in the wrong thread, but adding pics on this thread for completion. This is the final product with the black badges. Moved the side V from the fender to the door. Changed the yellow in the factory badges to gunmetal to match the rims, and changed the black Blackwing lettering...
