I thought I remembered you guys were working on something. Any idea of how far out they might be? I have mixed emotions about the RB rotors myself. They currently seem to be the only option aside from stock though.

I ran the RB rotors until I split one in half... Their customer support was horrible and I'll never support their products again.

Which Gen Corvette Calipers are usable on our Camaro's

I seen calipers available for as low as 250 bucks with a J55, J6A or JL9, J6D are these a certain brake option code?

I think it was said non carbon rotor ed C7 ZO6.

olblue75 · 07-08-2015, 03:32 PM

So 14-15 Z06 with steel rotors???

Firefighter · 07-08-2015, 04:06 PM

That's how I understood it.

Aren't the 2014s C6 and the 2015s C7s?

olblue75 · 07-08-2015, 06:57 PM

2014s are the first of the C7s

Rears dont need them but great question....

Honestly, the zl1 rotors are awesome, dont think you can go better with aftermarket unless you go with diff caliper too.

C7 z06 started in 2015. C6 z06 is not brembo on NON CCM brakes.

I'm an all in kind of guy.

The only reason I'm looking for something else is cost. A 2 piece rear would be awesome just to once again be all in...

If ur all in kinda guy get those AP radical calipers and rotors and never ever again worry about if there is better brakes for your camaro. 2 pc on all corners, not much heavier than zl1 but significantly more pad swept area. 7k though. If you dont tune ur LS3 zl1 brakes are perfect...maybe more track oriented pad if you go blackeddy on the track.

Really Bad = RB

I rode with Balue for a session around Laguna to show him around, he had just installed a Wilwood 6 piston setup with pretty stout rotors and track pads. I was actually surprised how much bite they had, and they seemed to hold up to heat pretty well(no where near what I put brakes through, but they might hold up??). The only issue was that they needed to be shimmed out of nowhere as the caliper was riding the rotor??? I am not sure of the cost of their rotors or offsets on a stock setup though.
