ZL1 rotors - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So there's no brake section for the zl1, not sure if this should go here but anyways..

Has anyone had any luck finding the front rotors other than the O.E. rotor from GM for the ZL1? I know the slotted/dimpled/drilled/barbecued(mmm ribs) rotors might not be as good as the O.E., but I'm just looking. Everywhere I've called they only have the rear rotors, not the fronts.

You might try shopping for a set of replacement (Non OE) rotors for a CTSV.

That should get you more options.

I tried the cts v options as well. no luck there either..

really??? huh...

What brands are you looking at?

2ss-booya · 03-12-2013, 08:27 PM

Well so far I've looked at dba, ebc, r1concepts, jegs and whatever was on brakeperformance.com (called and they said no).

have you found any?

Edit: on a side note, i forgot what site i was on, but they had the two piece rotors that were over
$1,000 (cant remember if it was per side or axle set) but just seeing if there are other options.

Oh sorry, I've got an SS with a ZL1 front fascia. I've upgraded my front brakes to the CTSV calipers but went with ZL1 front rotors....

I had no idea you guys don't have any other options... You may want to talk to Bruce Raymond (Ramond's Performance) out of Indy. He's a sponsor here. He's got a shop that will slot rotors. He's done it on a few CTSV fronts that he runs on his optima challenge camaro.

Send him a PM.

Racing Brake.

Synner · 03-12-2013, 08:39 PM

And technically the dual cast CTS-V rotors but I don't think that would be an upgrade. A bit lighter but not nearly as heavy duty.

DBA is supposed to be having a CTSV/ZL1 option out in the near future.

2ss-booya · 03-12-2013, 08:45 PM

Ah yes I went to racingbrake and found the rotor pair on amazon for $1,149.41 with prime. so that saves you ~$175 and if you have prime thats free shipping too.

but then again, any others? lol

Synner · 03-12-2013, 08:46 PM

Nope. I just looked before I did my brake upgrade. Gotta wait for DBA or someone else to come out with something.

2ss-booya · 03-12-2013, 08:49 PM

Wait what about these?
