I have a 24 2SS with the ZL1 brake package and had the chance to track mine a few weeks ago. I feel like they performed very well, but I haven't had a chance to pull the wheels and see how much material is gone after 3 hours of HPDE driving. Also curious to know how many sessions we'll be able to get out of the factory rotors as well. I'm new to the platform, so I have no baseline to reference on these cars.
I'm running Castrol SRF in mine, and that's basically the only upgrade I made before hitting Summit Point Raceway here in VA. TIA

Camaro Fest is less than 3 weeks away so will hit NCM and some autoX and drag strip too. These brakes feel really good but still no track time other than the forest runs.

Search here on the forums for more info. The HP1000 pad is an improvement in feel and performance over the OE copper free pad. And it's cheaper than the copper free pads.
As far as the rotors, they will last a really long time. This package is thermal overkill, even when I used the DS1.11 race pad, my caliper temp were pretty low (Pitt Race, advanced driver). I was running the Caddy BlackWing brake deflectors but I have since removed them and reinstalled the OE deflectors.

Thanks for the run down because I probably won't track this car much. The ZLE gets that duty. So far the brakes actually feel better than the ZLE probably because they are brand new.
