I am looking at the 6 pot upgrade for my self and found a good deal. The yellow cts-v calipers are actually cheaper than tge silver ones and most end up paying them anyways so why spend more. Do you plan to use stock pads or upgrade to something like hawk hps or another brand?

I was planning on using stock pads myself but the JDP kit comes with Hawk HPS and when I priced them out they are very close in price so I was thinking of using Hawks. However, if I use stock CTS-V pads I won't have to replace the rear pads to match which I probably should do with the HPS pads.

Painted mine and used Hawk HPS pads. Works excellent. Did a hard run in the Local canyons and this set up works better than stock SS brakes. Awesome upgrade.

The CTS-V rotors are lighter and less expensive which is why I'm going with them. But as I understand they perform the same, at least from what I've researched.

ZL1 rotors are two piece, the CTSV rotors are not...that is the main difference I recall...

Someone weighted the two rotors CTSV vs ZL1. The V rotors are lighter.

I know this, I'm familiar with the CTS-V rotors. I was trying to say above that the the CTS-V rotors are lighter compared to the ZL1 rotors, not compared to the SS rotors.
What I don't know is if there is any performance benefit to the 2-piece ZL1 rotors compared to the dual-cast CTS-V rotors? I don't remember seeing anything that would justify the extra price of the ZL1 rotors for me.

The ZL1 rotors do look better.

The downside to the dual cast CTS-V rotor is it hard attaches by pins through the spokes in the aluminum cast center. Some report issues with the dual cast distorting. We have run them to death over testing sessions and have never had an issue. That may be related to our choice of brake pads and the insulating value of a binderless pad. |
