2015 ZL1 Brake questions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Greetings,

Got 40k miles on our ZL1 and it's time for brakes. Mostly daily driving with a little spirited driving on the weekends (no racing). Looking for recommendations. I've been looking at Power Stop pads Z23 and Z26 pads. Any feedback on them is appreciated. Also, what do do with rotors. Have them turned (as long as they mic out okay)? Or should they be replaced?

I was also looking at the Power Stop kit with all new rotors (drilled & slotted), has anyone used their kit?

Thanks,
Sam

It doesn’t sound like you want to spend the money to maintain it with the factory Brembo parts? If not, I’ve had good performance from Hawk brand pads.

Brembo parts are out of my budget at this time. $380 per rotor is crazy!

According to their website they do, but only in the Extreme Performance line. Part number is K6790-26.
