The reason there is so little braking aftermarket is because the factory Brembo's are that good.

The GT4 Camaro weighs a bit over 3100 lbs. Fronts are 15" Brembo Motorsports (according to the Brembo Racing catalog) and the rears are ZL1 14.4". |

Yes, I scorched the dust boots on my J6M brakes, not the seals. If you hurt the seals, you'd be leaking brake fluid. Is that happening? I didn't encounter that, just the dust boots. Uneven pad wear isn't necessarily a problem, it just means it's a slight pad mu mis-match to the differential piston bores. I wouldn't worry about that as there's nothing you can really do about it, just run the pad you want.

I thought you could try to flip the pads, so if the worn out part was the bottom, now it will be at the top.

Has anyone actually had brake overtemp issues with oem 1LE system running race brake fluid? I haven't and I've driven many track days and have 32k miles in 1.5 years.

Oh yeah just FYI I run Hawk DTC-60 Pads on track and they work great!!! Along with DBA rotors. And just another point there is plenty enough rear brakes as well. And I also run 200tw tires. Oem brake system will outperform any 200tw tire on the market.

I loved my C5 Z06 from a performance standpoint, but back then they only did what was minimally required. The rotors would constantly warp, the clutch pedal would stick to the floor because it would get too hot, etc. My view point on the SS 1LE and the ZL1 1LE is that it is properly engineered now in every important area, almost like how Porsche does with their cars, although Porsche takes it a step further and over engineers their cars, but you pay 3 times as much for them. Sorry OP for the side track, I just wanted to give props to GM for building a proper track car with proper components right off the showroom floor.

Just to put the gen 6 SS 1LE braking in perspective check out this list of the best braking cars. The gen 6 SS 1LE is only beaten by some racecars that shouldnt have even been included on that list, gen 7 wide body Corvettes, the gen 6 ZL1 1LE, the Viper ACR, 991.2 911 Turbo S, the Ferrari LaFerrari, and the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. Other than changing the brake fluid for track use as recommended in the owners manual I dont see any reason why it would be worth messing with the brakes. You will probably just end up making things worse. Also worth noting is that most of those cars that beat the gen 6 SS 1LE in braking are running R compound tires.

Off topic, but also worth noting is how great the gen 6 SS 1LE is on the skidpad. Again pretty much only beaten by wide body gen 7 Corvettes, the gen 6 ZL1 1LE, and supercars/hypercars mostly running R compound tires...

And there is the reason to NOT change brakes on 1LE. MY GUESS IS ABS will see an effect if you do as well. And the only way to compare is track times and temp. checks.

Have you guys ever considered AP Racing setups? They have packages for the Camaro with specially made calipers and three rotor versions with different diameters and thickness. About 7K for both front corners. A little over 5K for the rear corners.
Here's a link for the American Essex site that offers the Camaro packages along with some good reading. https://www.essexparts.com/video-ap-...r-gen6-camaros Disc weights are listed at the same link. When the factory parts smoke and fade, check out AP Racing.
