The rotors are 10+ Camaro rotors. The rotor no matter which brand you use will need to be machined a bit to fit. The center hole on the camaro rotor are a tad smaller diameter.

You can use the Z06 rotors without machining, but then the brake pad wont cover the whole rotor and will wear unevenly.

I will be getting the weld Rts setup for the track as well. Ill have to use the 18" fronts to clear.

Nice attention to detail. A little bit of paint and powder coat goes a long way. Very clean.

Thanks for posting! Great post & very nice job. I feel like I need to do this to accommodate the occasional track day. If you don't mind, post how much you have into the brakes.

blaine123

I think for the complete brake upgrade I paid under 1k for everything without counting the bigger wheels and tires.

~520 Calipers
~14 Caliper Hardware
~80-120 Rotors
~120 Brake lines
~80 Brake Pads
+Honing Brake Rotors (~100)
+Misc bolts/brake fluid/decals/paint

what vehicle did you get the pads from camaro or cts v ?

blaine123

CTS V pads.

Awesome thanks, my tires are coming in next week for my welds so I need to get everything else, hopefully this weekend they will be on

Awesome job! Can I ask why you didn't go with the 14.6in rotors from the ZL1?

Do the pads hang over much? can you post a pick of the top of the caliper with everything assembled?

I know the 14in 2010 rotors fit perfectly under the 4-piston brembo's. So shouldn't the 6-piston brembo caliper go with the 14.6in rotors that come on the ZL1?

Am I missing something? does the ZL1 have a different spindle?

I think the 14.6 would be to much, this is mine without the pads. I'll post a thread when I start assembly

I looked at the pics again, and it looks like the piston is just outside the rotor, which means the pads will be over as well. I bet the 14.6in fits better.

I think there is a disadvantage to this setup vs the 14in 4-piston.

The 6-piston caliper actually has slightly less piston area=less force when using the same lever arm(14in rotor). Also you are using less pad..... Whereas the 14in 4-piston is using all of the rotor, all of the pad, and the caliper produces more force. I know its hard to believe looking at that massive 6-piston caliper, but the total piston area in the 4-pot is larger.

So in the end I think you'll have less brake force, and less fade resistance.

Somebody tell me if I'm missing something here.

Holy Jevus. That looks sexy *** ****. What rotors are those???

blaine123

I would think the 14.6" rotor would be too big and you may have to have a custom bracket for the calipers to clear over them. With a custom bracket the ZL1 and the CTS V rotors would fit fine. Could always buy one and try to see if they fit and let us know, but I don't think I could fit anything larger in my 18" Wheels.

SS Camaro Rotor fits Perfect with the 6 piston calipers, and with a larger rotor you would more than likely have to go 19" wheels. I have ZERO over hang on the rotors with the pads. Match up perfect.

I just mounted my brakes and used the 14.6inch ctsv rotors. They fit perfect

Ha, I knew it, that pad rotor fit is pure automotive ****!

Most places I find list that rotor as 14.55(370mm) or 14.6(same as the ZL1). A few list it as 15in, but I wonder if they're just rounding up?

Nice. Did you have to enlarge the hub bore on the rotor, or did it slip right on?

Can't wait to track them.

Thanks. Is that an OEM rotor? I can't exactly tell from the picture but it looks like it's not a 2-piece.

I need that setup!
