Upgrade from SS to 1LE Brake Calipers

What all is necessary to upgrade my Brake Calipers from the stock SS calipers to the 1LE calipers for the fronts and rears?

For the front you will need the calipers, pads, rotors and longer lines.

Rears are the same I believe.

I ordered the front kit from GM performance parts, very quick and easy install.

You DO NOT want to powdercoat the calipers if using them for heavy track use. You want to have them CERAKOTED. Thise would be good up to 800-900 degrees which you should NEVER see.

This is good advice! I definitely made that mistake and in short order my calipers were a mess, I had underestimated how much heat they'd see on track.

Maybe start with the OEM 1le pads, they're plenty good enough for the street and doing track days. And they won't be noisy like track pads can be

Possible / probable dumb question: would the ZZP kit (or similar) require any sort of re-tuning of the ABS brains?
