Hi, I interested to install the ZR1 Carbon Ceramic brakes on a SS.
My question is,is this possible or to difficult?
Thanks for answers!

The Stig · 01-10-2014, 08:39 AM

It's possible yes. Will it be extremely expensive and not at all worth it? Probably.

Fenrir · 01-10-2014, 09:09 AM

Thank you

Can I use the parts from the ZR 1 brake plug and play or they are different to the SS brakes.
And when which parts are different?
Can not find the sizes for this.

Nothing is plug and play. Get out your wallet, welder, and Bridgeport.

Fenrir · 01-10-2014, 09:29 AM

Ok,this is not the problem!

The question is which parts fits and which must customized?

Is the hub and bearing the same?

There are already 2 carbon ceramic brake threads at the bottom of the first page in this section. I'm sure you'll find the answers you seek there.

You could wait for the Z/28 brakes to be available as another option.

Fenrir · 01-10-2014, 10:59 AM

Yes,but at time only the front calipers available and not more.
I think the front rotor is the same,394/36 by the Z/28 and 394/?? by the ZR1.
Or is this in the middle of the rotor different?

axis · 01-10-2014, 06:22 PM

Before you dig deeply into this, do you have $8000+ US to spend on these? That's just the starting price. Replacement pads are in the $1400 range and rotors are $1500+/EACH.

Synner · 01-10-2014, 06:56 PM

Calipers are different, hats are different, offsets are different, bolt pattern is slightly different, brake line connection points are different, I believe the rear rotor was different size as well.

Synner · 01-10-2014, 06:58 PM

And no matter how many times I say it the ZR1 rotors can be had for under 1k but people refuse to use the internet and always quote MSRP. However the Z28 parts will cost much more, especially initially, and availability will suck.
