2022-2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Ceramic Brake Kits
The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a heavy, very fast rear-drive super sedan that sees both daily-road and serious track use. Buyers usually want less brake dust, lower unsprung weight, and stronger repeat-stop confidence without losing street manners.

This is an OEM-size replacement kit. The rotors are built to the factory rotor spec and install with the factory caliper when the front caliper is a fixed design and the rotor spec matches. The included pad shape matches the OEM pad shape. If the car uses aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, or Wilwood, provide the exact caliper model and StopFlex can supply the matching pad shape. Direct replacement is not confirmed if the front caliper is floating, or if the car already runs a non-OEM-offset rotor and the actual rotor dimensions cannot be supplied.
Why StopFlex CCB
Lightweight
Half the Weight, Sharper Handling. StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors shed roughly half the mass of equivalent iron discs. This massive drop in unsprung weight instantly transforms your chassis, delivering sharper turn-in response and a significantly more refined road feel.
High-Temp Resistance
Minimal Brake Fade at 900°C (1652°F). While traditional iron rotors severely fade under heavy track loads, our CCB matrix holds a stable 0.30μ friction coefficient even at 900°C (1652°F). You get consistent, predictable stopping power when things get dangerously hot.
Corrosion Resistance
100% Rust-Free Durability. Say goodbye to flash rust after a car wash or heavy rain. The carbon-silicon carbide material is naturally impervious to corrosion, ensuring your brake rotors look completely clean and pristine no matter the weather conditions.
Long Lifespan
250,000+ km (155,000+ mi) Lifespan. Iron rotors typically require replacement around 100,000 km (62,000 mi). In normal street driving conditions, a StopFlex CCB rotor can easily last 250,000 to 300,000 km (155,000 to 186,000 mi), effectively outlasting the vehicle itself.
Ultra-Low Dust
Ultra-Low Visible Brake Dust. Heavy black dust destroying your wheel finish is a thing of the past. When paired with our matched StopFlex pads, these rotors generate virtually zero visible brake dust, keeping your premium wheels spotless for much longer.
Premium Visual Finish
Premium Mirror-Like Finish. StopFlex utilizes a patented ceramic formula that cures with a distinct crackle pattern. The surface is machined dead-smooth for high reflectivity, providing a premium aesthetic behind open wheels under the right lighting.
High Normal-Temp Friction
Strong Initial Bite (0.40μ+). With matched StopFlex pads, normal-temperature friction can exceed 0.40μ for a firmer pedal feel and strong initial bite.
Long-Fiber Construction
Continuous Long-Fiber Strength. StopFlex utilizes a continuous long-fiber 3D matrix. This structure is significantly stronger and offers higher thermal conductivity than standard chopped-fiber OEM CCM discs.
Cold First-Stop Confidence
Reliable Cold-Bite at -20°C (-4°F). Coated street rotors still deliver normal first-stop braking at -20°C (-4°F). Uncoated motorsport rotors are the exception.
Important heat note
Carbon ceramic does not shed heat as fast as steel. Long hard driving can heat-soak the rest of the brake system, including fluid, seals, and nearby parts. Unless the car already has strong brake cooling, or you plan to upgrade brake cooling, prolonged aggressive driving is not recommended.
Rotor options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating + cross-drilled face + large cooling channels.
Use the road-focused StopFlex setup if your CT5-V Blackwing is mainly a fast street car and you want cleaner operation with minimal compromise.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels.
Use the trackday setup if this Blackwing sees regular canyon runs or HPDEs and you want more thermal margin without going full race-biased.
Motorsport Spec
No coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels. Not for normal street use.
Use the motorsport setup for sustained hard lapping or competition where peak heat control matters more than comfort or cost.

FAQ
Will a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing fit my factory calipers, or do I need different calipers?
That depends on whether your CT5-V Blackwing has the iron-brake or factory carbon-ceramic hardware. On this platform, owners report retrofit differences can include more than just rotors, so confirm exact caliper and hardware compatibility before ordering. ([cadillacvnet.com](https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/retrofitting-carbon-ceramic-brakes-to-5bw.5038/))
Which StopFlex size should I order for my Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: the 398/373mm setup or the 400/370mm setup?
Match the kit to your car’s current brake architecture, not just wheel size. The CT5-V Blackwing is commonly listed with 398mm front and 373mm rear iron rotors, while factory carbon-ceramic cars use 400mm front and 370mm rear sizing. ([brochures.cadillac.com](https://brochures.cadillac.com/2024/ct5-v-series/exterior/))
Is a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit on the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing still a good choice for daily street use and cold first stops?
Yes, for most Blackwing owners the appeal is cleaner wheels, lower brake dust, and lighter-feeling response on a car that is still driven on the street. If your use is mainly commuting and spirited road driving, this upgrade makes the most sense when you value those ownership benefits as much as track performance. ([cadillacvnet.com](https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/retrofit-carbon-ceramic-brakes.2936/))
Do I need extra brake cooling on my Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing after upgrading to a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for prolonged hard use?
Usually not for normal street driving, but repeated high-speed track sessions are where heat management becomes the real selection issue. Cadillac describes the Blackwing brake package as track-tested with enhanced cooling, so for frequent lapping the key is choosing the higher-thermal-capacity setup and confirming the rest of the system is ready for that duty.
