Brake Rotor Fitment
Serious question from a novice: I have a '17 ZL1 and need to change the front brakes and rotors. I already changed the rear to Powerstops but the front rotors I tried to use were too small (Not of equal size to OEM) so I didn't put them on. Now I can't find powerstops that are the right size. What can I do now? Anyone have the right size and part number for the powerstop rotors I want to put on? HELP!

Why would you want to change the rotors to Powerstops.

First it started as time for new pads and I wanted to (while I was at it) get rid of the awful brake dust. I read that powerstops were awsome for minimal brake dust and general stopping power for daily driver use. Soooo...

If you want to get rid of brake dust, you only need to change the pads not the rotors.
Keep them oem rotors. There is nothing wrong with them. |

Powerstop doesn't make rotors which fit a ZL1 or ZL1-1LE no matter what their webpage says. They have pads for our cars.

I don't understand why people worry about brake dust, and prefer less dust over incredible stopping power. For another car 8 years ago, I went with a reco for some affordable Girodisc pads that were supposed to have good performance with low dust. I took them out for a casual canyon drive and they nearly killed me.
I will never buy "low dust" pads again, and a freight train like the ZL1 seems like the last car to put something like this on. Dusty wheels look cool. |

I run OEM and DS 1.11 and dust doesn't seem too bad with either, might be less with DS 1.11. They last a long time, 7 track days and they are still at 7 mm.
