FJ5GTX….. What did you come up with? I just bought a 23 LT1 and the front caliper is huge with the torx screws and the rotors are bigger as well. I’d like to get some new pads and some drilled/slotted rotors but have no clue on what to do.

After getting delayed so much, I noticed that after 1000 miles the OE pads didn't seem to dust so much. I have the pads (Power Stop Z26-8009, Z26) on hand, but haven't installed them yet. So I cannot say 100% they fit, but they look right.

Here is a video of the z51.

I bought the same Z26-8009 pads as you. Have you tried fitment? I haven’t gotten the chance to try mine. What’s your word on them? Thanks

Has anyone attempted LT 1LE pads? From my research, LT1 only lists 12.6” rotor diameter which is the same size as the LT 1LE. Though the stock SS rotors are 13.6” so they get a slightly bigger caliper and therefore bigger pads.

I only know of the 6-Piston Brembo’s getting the copper free variants with much larger calipers and rotors but I believe them to be applicable to SS and higher trims only.

Edit: here’s two photos from before I installed my LT 1LE Brembo’s, they seem to match the pink pads in OP’s first post

To me, those look like rears, not fronts... Also, I think those may have been painted as the bleed valves and pistons are totally painted over, which shouldn't be the case and the factory ones say "Camaro" and not just "Brembo"...

While the SS rear Brembo’s are 13.3”, mine fit my 12.6” front rotor perfectly.

I believe the LT1 shares the same braking system as the previous model years LT 1LE having 12.6” rotors with 4 piston Brembo’s on the front and 12.4” rotors with the single piston e brake caliper on the rear.
