The SS hasn't come with the track brake kit in a very long time. I believe that was a 16-17 only, and my 2018 did not include them, and my 2022 didn't either.

I have a 2018 that I ordered new, and they came with the car (your dealer may have tossed them). This may no longer be the case after the 2019 refresh indeed.

Interesting! I found my 2018 on the lot, ordered my 2022.

Is this different than the rear numbers I posted?

I finally received my Blackwing Brake Cooling Ducts after 3 months of order cancellation and reordering, what a size difference from stock ZL1. I don’t seem to have much of a dust shield so that’s good

I must be blind or stunned? For the love of God, I can’t figure out how the rear cooler deflectors fit. #84946131,32 edit: Ok figured it out, I need to drill holes and make spacers

EDIT: Rear arms were changed for 2022. Here is the part number for the ZL1, SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE.

85004630 - Rear Trailing Arm (FE4/FEA)

You shouldn’t need to drill any holes. Should already be there. There are part numbers for the spacers, too.

Reading other threads, apparently model year 2022 and up have the holes, is my understanding. I didn’t realize there was a rear kit, so I ended up ordering the two individual part numbers and I don’t know the part number for the spacer.

Here's a step by step video tutorial for the rear. I checked my 19 1LE and the holes weren't there on mine either. You will have to drill if not.

Thanks for the info! I just decided to order the upgraded arms with the holes, they are only $66 US a pair. With the apparent flex of these arms, I want to eliminate any notch affect from drilling a hole with the drill bit.

I have holes in rear control arms on my 2022 SS 1LE and half-size dust shields in the rear.
I've decided to go with 85523690 kit for the rear instead of buying ducts and hardware separately, and ordered Blackwing ducts and mini dust shields. Appeared to be less then $100 in total, and I hope I will get the delivery soon

For SS 1LE guys you definitely need smaller front dust shields or have to cut the OE. The stock ones block the ducts.
