CT5-V Blackwing Front Brake Pads

Description

The world of brake pads is a bit of a nightmare for a vendor as there is no ‘perfect’ replacement pad.  Many owners believe the Blackwing’s OEM pads are actually closest to perfect, although the right choice is very specific to the driver and use case.  All the low dust pads stink from a performance perspective, with no bite and risking fade even on the street.  The OEM pads really are amazing for how wide the conditions are they can cover – from freezing winter to moderate track day use.  And once you are pushing on track past what OEM can do you are deep into nerd land of track pads (brand, compound and stagger front to rear).  For those of you who want to go down that rabbit hole Carbotech, GLOC, Hawk and Ferodo all have a dozen options each.  These are genuine GM OEM brake pads and we are able to offer them for 26 to 30% less than Cadillac dealerships!
