I’m using the ZL1/CTS-V 6 piston calipers with the Z06 pistons running CTS-V rotors an have several track days on them using Z06 pads and no cooling yet with no issues and I’ve been able to hit 122-123 down the front stretch at NCM.
Now I know the rotors aren’t optimal but I’m slowly building a set up with ZL1 front with the DBA Rings for a Z06 and GS, I was able to get a set Z28 rear hats without rings and will be installing the Z06/GS rear rings on those, I also have the Z28 brake duct kit and wheel well liners that I have to modify for my 2010 and also have 6th Gen deflectors for the control arms to help get the air to the rotors a little better.
Now during my track day after my runs I cruise the back lot before pulling into the garage where I put 3 box fans on the front wheels and grill to cool thing down. Half way through the next groups session I crank the engine an let the oil circulate to bring some warm oil back up to my remote cooler.
Now my motor is all stock (but changing soon) but I’ve not had any issues with high temps or brake fade also using DOT4 fluid best I could find in my hometown.
Now you guys with more power I can see cooking brakes or at least more fade.
Some of you guys probably think I’m wasting my money or only doing it half way but this is also a daily driver and not a dedicated track car so I think my mods are/will be pretty solid.
