Not sure what you'd do with the parking brake, since the Z28 is a manual brake and the ZL1 1LE is electronic |
I dont think that matters, the "parking brake" is internal. But I do believe the rear CC brakes are larger and you have to get the rear calipers as well

I stay with the stock brakes.

This is what I was wondering. If they lasted longer and lighter, it would be great. but 63lbs is not worth it to spend $6k every 3rd or 4th year only for weight savings.
