Some of you may know where this is going, but for those of you that don't:
The new ZR1 uses the first factory General Motors production Carbon Ceramic braking system.
I believe they are about 15.5 inches in diameter and would provide exceptional braking for a car that is heavy with a lot of HP.
I know they won't be cheap, but they last a LONG time (think 100K miles; even with hard use) and coming from GM, they have to be cheaper than a Porsche caliper/custom ceramic rotor combination...
So, does anyone think (that with even bigger wheels, possibly) that the new ZR1 rotors and/or calipers w/ brackets will fit onto the 5th Gen....Maybe on the Z28 or done in my garage?

I still have the stock rotors and brake pads on my 03 Avalanche with 146K miles. They have been checked several times and there is still plenty of pad left and the rotors still look good. So it just doesn't seem necessary to me. I also use to pull trailers and a 24 foot RV with it pretty often.
