ZL1 brake upgrade
I have a set of ZL1 brakes and rotors to install on my 2015 Camaro SS. Does anyone know if I need to change the hub and bearings? Front? Back? Both?

Good tip on the hubs.
What did you do for wheels? If you switch from 4 to 6 piston brembos, what wheels would you use? |

One other thing. Has anyone thought of installing a dry sump system? I wonder if hard cornering can lead to engine damage? Check out this website.

I’m planning on upgrading my front brakes to the 6 piston zl1 brakes down the line, but do I need the zl1 wheel hub? I have arp 1/2 inch extended studs that I just had put on not too long ago. And are zl1 front rotors the same as the SS?

What is the difference between the stock hubs and ZL1 hubs and how can you tell them apart?

The SKFs will last a lot longer than a OEM bearing
