I've wondered if our BCD copper free calipers would work with the appropriate carbon ceramic rotors.

I'm not 100% sure and assume there would be some carryover with the BW parts, but can say for me i was finding some minor differences between Z28, C6, C7 parts. What i was finding with some of the other rotors, is that the part #'s may be different for different models because the rotor hat is different (which changes the offsets of the rotor). However the CC rotor disc itself was the same. The part numbers from GM change as they only sell the rotors with the hat and hardware attached to the disc and do not offer part numbers for each component of the rotor. With calipers, i am also finding the castings from brembo are the same, the differences lie in the colors and decals/markings applied and hence changes the GM part numbers.

Just a quick sneak peak at the progress so far…… More details if folks want. All parts used were factory GM parts. Powder coating done by Drew at F14 powder coating in Texas.

It's already a thing of beauty oozing quality throughout. Can't wait for your full review at the end

LOOKS KILLER! Can't wait to see the finished look on the ground with the wheels on.

Top Quality Mod...and not typical either.

Hi all,

SpeedySteve77, great job with the mod. The listing you did will make it easier for the rest of us to complete this change.

I must say, the OEM CCB package on my ‘15 Z/28 were hands down the very best brakes I’ve ever experienced in my life. I can’t wait to try these on my ‘22 ZLE!!

Again,

Great job!!

JJ

Factory upgrade is completed. I definitely can feel the difference in weight savings, but have not fully pushed the car aggressively yet. The brakes do bite fairly hard as they warm up, but at first when cold do have a slightly soft feel to them. But then again with r compound tires that have to warm up before grip, it does not bother me. Overall the upgrade went fairly smooth and as expected. I will post all the parts used throughout the build soon enough. My overall cost was slightly higher than normal as i opted to buy new 1LE factory front calipers and rotors so i had an entire set to revert to stock whenever. This was partially due to my desire to have all the calipers powdercoated to match my body color. Ive attached more pics below. Also opted for another personal touch on my supercharger cover while i had calipers at the powdercoater. Decided to have the machined area done to match my body color also. At the end of the day, i am super pleased and absolutely love the look and feel of the brakes. Besides, what is not to love about doing a factory GM upgrade on your GM vehicle!!! Enjoy the pics!

I'll venture that you have one of the best Camaro brake setups on the forum, and your engine bay doesn't look too shabby either.
Congratulations again, fantastic work and a pristine setup

Wow! What a great upgrade! Fantastic work, Steve!!!

RobZL1 · 10-14-2023, 06:42 PM

Yeah this is amazing, high quality, factory option looking stuff right here. Very well researched and executed!! I love everything about it

wakespeak · 10-14-2023, 08:06 PM

Interested! Please post part #s. 55lb of unsprung weight is a lot!

Looks really good. What decals did you use for the calipers? Did you clear over the decals?
