Z28 CARBON CERAMOC BRAKES ON ZL1-1LE?
Has anyone done this yet? If so, was it worth it? I am wondering about rotor life on the track only.
I would switch back to steel for the road. Or maybe switching back and forth wouldn't be good. I believe I saw somewhere that the rear calipers would have to be swapped out with the z28 calipers also. Or is a better option using the CT5-V brakes and rotors?

I have 15 track days on my stock rotors and second set of stock brakes. Right at 1500 track miles.
I run with with some friends that have 5th Gen Z28's and they took off their carbon fiber rotors. Very expensive. They switched to Girodisc and love it. You having issues? |

I noticed some brake fade at the NCM, but not anything to worry about yet. I know they are expensive, just love having good hard braking. Why did they take the CC off? just replacement cost? going through them quicker?

Carbon Ceramics won't last as long as the steel brakes. The only advantage is weight. I track with allot of Porsche guys and that's their experience. A good compromise might be the girodisk brakes. Some weight savings but just as good braking power and far less than carbon ceramics. I stay with the stock brakes. |

Anderson Composite's Sema car had them. As far as I know, the offset is really close, i think a shim is needed between the knuckle and the caliper mounts to get the right spacing to the rotor (or it may be the opposite and it needs to come closer, i know it is a 10mm difference though). Not sure what you'd do with the parking brake, since the Z28 is a manual brake and the ZL1 1LE is electronic |

Carbon rotors can last quite a long time, but it all depends on how aggressive of a pad you run. We have had track customers go through 3 full sets of factory GM carbon pads before the rotors were smoked, we have also had people smoke rotors after 1 set of aggressive pagid aftermarket pads. Just like steel, wear varies on aggressiveness of driving/pad choice Last edited by Katech_Zach; 08-23-2021 at 08:15 AM. |

The 5th Gens didn’t have anything attached to the caliper, there’s a small drum brake set up inside the brake hat. They are not like the older Gens of Camaro/TA’s with a single piston rear disc brake set up.

Here’s a complete setup but if you need rotors only he might separate.

AP kit for track is best but really expensive...Z/28 setup CCRs looks great at Cars & Coffee but won't stop any better on track and costs $$$. I would stick with the factory rotors fitted with track pads, Ti shims for the front, GM front air deflectors, and Endless brake fluid. I use Hawk DTC70/60 and can outbrake nearly everything on track.
