I was already using Castrol SRF brake fluid, so the fade I was getting wasn't from overheating the fluid, but from the pads being overworked. The difference was better than I hoped as the brake fade is gone, but the brake power and feel is definitely better.

If making the choice, I do think the ZL1 caliper and rotor are worth the extra price and had I to do it over, I would go that route myself. The only thing I am unsure of is - do the ZL1 brakes allow an 18" rim?
Apex 18’s fit for sure.
