2020+ Cadillac CT5 Performance Brake Kit | Ghost Rotors

668 HP Deserves More Than OEM Rotors

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is one of the last great American super sedans - a 668-horsepower supercharged LT4, manual or 10-speed, and a chassis tuned to lap the Nürburgring. Owners who add carbon-fiber aero, splitters, and track suspension are already investing in how the car looks and handles. Brakes are the next logical upgrade: more corner entry speed means more heat at every stop.

Factory CT5-V Blackwing brakes use capable Brembo calipers paired with single-piece rotors and semi-metallic pads - adequate for street use, but they reach a thermal ceiling quickly on track days or repeated canyon runs. Ghost Brakes 2-piece floating rotors with carbon ceramic pads bolt directly onto factory calipers and eliminate the warp and fade that single-piece rotors develop under sustained load.

After Your Aero Mod - Upgrade the Stop

Track-package front splitters, carbon rockers, and rear spoilers change how air flows over the CT5-V - and how fast you carry speed into corners. That same track-oriented build needs brakes that won't fade after three hot laps. If you've already invested in exterior aero, the brake upgrade completes the performance triangle: power, grip, and stopping.

Ghost Brakes kits include GEOMET® coating on all rotor surfaces for corrosion resistance, and diamond-slotted faces that evacuate heat and gas from the pad contact patch. Read our CT5-V Blackwing brake upgrade guide for the full mod-sequence breakdown.

CT5-V vs Escalade V - Same Brand, Different Brake Strategy

Cadillac V-Series spans two very different use cases. The CT5-V Blackwing is a track-capable super sedan that benefits from 2-piece floating rotor construction for thermal isolation under repeated hard stops. The Escalade V is a 6,000+ lb SUV that prioritizes thermal mass and fade resistance under towing load - see our Escalade brake kits for that platform.

Ghost Brakes vs OEM & zinc-coated rotors

Side-by-side specs for shoppers comparing real metallurgy and coating — not marketing labels.

Spec	Ghost Brakes	Typical OEM / budget upgrade
Rotor metallurgy	G11H18 high-carbon iron (555) or G3500 two-piece rings (777)	G3000-class cast iron
Surface finish	Drilled & diamond-slotted (555) or 2-piece floating (777)	Smooth or lightly slotted; often repainted zinc
Corrosion coating	GEOMET® — zinc-free, cannot be applied to G11H18	Thin zinc plating (fails in salt climates)
Pads	Carbon ceramic — low dust, fade-resistant	Semi-metallic OEM compound
Warranty	Lifetime — free continental US shipping	12–24 month limited / prorated

Frequently Asked Questions

What brake kit fits the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing?

Ghost Brakes offers 2-piece floating rotor kits with carbon ceramic pads for the Cadillac CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing (2022+). Kits bolt onto factory Brembo calipers - no bracket or caliper modifications required.

Why upgrade CT5-V Blackwing brakes after aero or track mods?

The CT5-V Blackwing produces 668 supercharged horsepower and weighs nearly 4,200 lbs. Carbon-fiber aero and track-oriented suspension increase cornering speed - which increases braking heat. OEM single-piece rotors warp under repeated track use. Ghost Brakes 2-piece floating rotors shed heat faster and resist thermal distortion.

Does CT5-V Blackwing use Brembo brakes from the factory?

Yes. The CT5-V Blackwing ships with Brembo front and rear calipers. Ghost Brakes upgrades the rotor and pad package while retaining factory calipers - the same approach used on Camaro ZL1 and Corvette Z06 track builds.
