    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    Does it seem to be isolated more in the front or the rear?

    Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

    Yeah, i worded that poorly. I meant to say that it wasn't immediately obvious where the jack stand would go if you used the lifting block for the jack. Or where the jack would go if you intended to use the lifting block for a jack stand. I have since figured it out it works great for both the...

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    Coming back with a rare "I think I've got this one figured out" update. Hope this helps someone in the future. My thought from July was correct - The Powerstop pads rattling in calipers over bumps. I removed each front pads and applied an even coat of CRC Disc Brake Quiet across the entire...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Finally saw a fellow 4BW here in midtown ATL yesterday. Black w/ bronze wheels and chrome badges getting onto 75 South. You around here?

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    For those playing along at home, I'm now 95% sure my noise is due to my front Powerstop pads being cut too short. Without the brakes applied, small, sharp bumps between 20-40mph will cause the pads to move vertically inside the calipers. The noise is likely the pad top and bottom edges rather...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Blue Ridge Parkway always goes down smooth. In this case, not literally - the pavement is worse than when I was there two years ago for sure. But still - the car is perfect for this trip. It eats up the hours of highway travel to get to the good roads, then you just fiddle with the drive modes...

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    Interesting. That definitely describes my issue, but after this weekend I'm inclined to try the brake pads first (see above). But yeah, that's just the bottom of your mag ride damper. Can you see an active leak? If not it's hard to tell if that's coming from the damper itself or perhaps...

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    Yep, good call... I initially suspected this since my truck has this bad, but thought for sure these calipers wouldn't have an issue since my Mustang Brembos never did. After posting this, I drove the car 400 miles this weekend, and noticed a pronounced *click* about half the time I applied the...

    Fit and Finish Issues - '23 4BW

    I was able to solve this one. The trim around the third brake light is separate from the rest of the headliner, and just pulls out with clips. Once under there, the plastic bracket holding the third brake is visible. It's bolted to the roof of the car and didn't move much. However, a separate...

    Fit and Finish Issues - '23 4BW

    I successfully diagnosed this issue finally and was very proud until I came back here to post about it and remembered that you had suggested this months ago. This was indeed my issue. While i can induce a buzz by thumping on the decklid, all the noise I hear over bumps is from the headliner in...

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    I will gather more detail as I continue to hear this, but wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues. My 4BW has ~3700mi and I'm getting a pronounced "extra" noise as the front suspension cycles over sharp impacts. It's tough to reproduce, so I can't yet tell if it's isolated to...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Funny... My work one-upper got my Electric Blue in a Guard's Red Porsche GT car as well... but his is "just" a GT4.

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    Although I purchased the recommended jack pads from this thread, I ended up pivoting and followed another method instead. Some of you may have seen the other thread on how to adapt ZL1-style pads to 4V BWs with minor trimming. Someone else took the plunge and I followed in their footsteps. I...

    Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

    I knocked this out yesterday and had great results. My Lowes didn't have the correct length M6x1.0 so I had to go with 30mm, which is fine. I selected almost the exact same positions as OP, with a few cm further rearward for the back placements. All 4 corners required trimming of rocker plastic...

    Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

    Thanks for following up! Totally hear ya... I was changing wheels on my Mustang for track duty for 5 weekends a year. That's 10x jacking the car up just to support those changes, and many more for maintenance upgrades. I got really good at it, and the Mustang made it so easy. Jackpad in the...

    Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

    I followed the larger thread (here) and ended up ordering a few things to support easier lifting especially when using QuickJacks. I was hoping ZL1 AddOns would get the memo and machine a set for 4BWs but they don't seem to be doing that, so this might be next best thing. Two questions: Have...
