Brembo brake upgrade question
Have a 2013 SS with factory 4 piston brembos and am upgrading to ZL1 6 piston. Does the caliper bracket have to be changed or does the 6 piston bolt on to my original? Thank you.

bolts right on...you just need the caliper, new rotor, dust shield and brake lines

You can get away with cutting your dust shield for the front brakes. You will need to trim tiny little bits on the edges. Mock up the caliper and notice where it is hitting, I believe it is the top corner. Cut that edge with dremel or any metal cutting tool you may have. I did the conversion on my car a few months back, added DOT 5.1 fluid and braided stainless steel lines. If you have any questions feel free to PM me

I agree with this. Plus you have the ss dust shields to sell along with your ss brembo Kit to someone who wants them.

I got away with selling my old brakes to a V6 owner and he didn't have to modify his front rotors which are the ones you're cutting from. The only ones that did require modification were the rear as he cut his rear dust shield. There has been threads on here before which they mention cutting as to avoid removing the e-brake and speed sensor mechanisms to remove the dust shield. There are also threads that teach how to properly do it but at the end of the day you choose the method that is best for you.

https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247289 https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=418879 These three posts should help a little when working with the ZL1 or Z28 brake ducts. On one it talks about fitting brake ducts on the earlier 5th gens, the other is how the ZL1 brake ducts work (same idea as Z28), and the other is improving the efficiency of the brake ducts. I do have a friend doing a ZL1 conversion on his boosted 1LE and we found that he cannot run the ZL1 brake ducts because of his intercooler tubing. Sometimes you have to compromise and find which one is most important to you and your build. |
