Z06 brake upgrade

[FastEddy]

I have a 2016 Camaro rt 3.6l v6 engine with the 6 piston Brembo brakes. I cannot find the rotors for this. They are 14.5"/368mm. the biggest rotors I have found on several sites is 13.58/345mm. Does anyone have a clue as to where I could find these.
Thank You in advance for your time and help.

That is the same size at GenV ZL1 rotors, but the offset on the Gen6 is different. I would bet they are the same as Gen6 SS 1LE rotors.

Was the same way when I picked up a set. I figured it was a marketing ploy because it's not like you only need one. Both were genuine Brembo.

That's great advice for when I go to pull the trigger on this..
Where'd you order your brake lines and how easy was the swap if you did it on jack stands in your garage?

I got some stainless braided goodridge lines on eBay, you have to be careful on there, but you can find some good deals even on new stuff, like the brand new set of rear HPS pads I bought for half the price, even had to message the guy and make sure he was selling full set of 4, price was so low I was half expecting it to be a scam. One thing with lines and such is I would recomend you cap off the holes as you work, I let all the fluid drain completely and spent way too long bleeding all the bubbled out, especially with that ABS module sitting higher then the reservoir, some have done it with zero issues but it was pain in the neck for me. Otherwise it's pretty easy even on jack stands since you're just dealing with the wheel wells, I also had ton of leaks at the connection to the hardlines, learned to tighten those harder then you would think.

I did my conversion during the winter of 2021 and it cost me a total of $1500 back then.

My brake lines came from KNS Brakes. Got the Goodridge brake lines for the ZL1.

As for the install, it was very easy and I did mine on jack stands. The hardest part was bleeding the brakes and that is not hard, just a pain doing it alone.

This is more great info and very encouraging. I just recently replaced all the pads on my factory brakes and upgraded to dot4 fluid, was time consuming but easy enough on the jack stands in my garage. I'll definitely have to do this upgrade by just starting to piece it all together a part at a time.

That looks so clean. Thank you for the info as well!
