No, when you select BCD-Copper Free Brakes, it replaces the base SS brakes and replaces them with the black 6 piston front/4 piston rear brakes and larger rotors. Total cost is $995 for a standard SS. For SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE, it's a $500 and includes the above but they are red instead of black.

That's the point we're trying to make. For $995 you're getting an amazing brake upgrade over the standard SS brakes.

The reason they are doing this is because the copper free brakes that GM had available on the shelf that would fit this car are from the CT5-V Blackwing. They basically took Blackwing brakes and rebranded the calipers for Camaro. Easy solution
