Ted, can you get the rotors turned? Or do you replace with the pads?

I'm going to my second brake change and have not changed or turned the rotors.
I have Hawk HPS pads and plan on repeating them. I do hard driving and 2 or 3 track days a year.

So, as I'm new to the Camaro and the ZL1, I'm guessing mos people are running through pads faster than the rotors are warping and getting good use from the rotors???

OEM rotors work great.

Hi, do you have references for the rear wheels?
Thanks, VG

I was under the impression that the R1 slotted/drilled are cheaper and better than OEM per Sponsor Sales forums

I daily drive my ZL1 and do 12-15 road course track days a year and I use stock pads and stock rotors. If it matters, I also run Hoosier R7 tire 295/30x19 and Amsoil DOT4 brake fluid and have nothing bad to say about the stock equipment.

I think they are just the standard 1771051 if memory serves me correct. I don't think there is really a brake upgrade in the rear.

double check that though.

What did you order on the Hellcat? Auto or 6spd?
