Camaro Brake questions size and logo?

What are the size of the rotors? I was told 14 inches.

Second, am i the only one that wishes they said "CAMARO" instead of "CHEVROLET"?

I think Camaro would be best. But I understand Chevrolet is banking on this vehicle to get them back int he game and need the name connection. What size rotors do the 1LTs have?

Actually they say both Chevrolet and Brembo. Chevrolet is in big letters, the brembo is written smaller underneath in red.

They are 14" up front and 14.4" in the rear on the SS, with the Brembro Calipers.

I was talking with Fbod and he said it was a major deal getting "Chevrolet" on the caliper. Brembo rarely if ever does that. I think Porsche has just their name on it, and maybe Ferrari. But, those companies ONLY do Brembo. I could go either way on the lettering, but I was hoping for red calipers. I thought the silver was OK too.

I think the ones with added weights should read: Brembo, redesigned by Chevy.

The LT has 12.x" rotors, and yes it should say CAMARO or BREMBO, not Chevrolet.

I thought this was cleared up ... the Brembos do say Brembo ... its just not as prominent as Chevrolet.

But personally, I don't care who supplies the brakes or what colour they're painted or who has their name on them. If they perform, they perform. If they don't, they don't. The name painted on them doesn't dictate 60-0 distance. The colour doesn't dictate how quickly they fade.
