I take it that the "SS track shields" are in fact smaller than the stock 1LE SS shields? |

That's correct.

I’m not sure if this is from street or track driving, but this looks to be the only damage the SS track deflectors get from running them on a car as low as the 1LE:
Pictured is the front, driver side. Note the lower, bottom left corner is slightly chaffed. |

So after reading through all these posts, can we get a recap? lol
I have a SS1LE, do I need to do anything to it prior to a track day with the brake ducts or dust shields, or can it be left as is for the track for those? Thanks! |

The recap is: Run the stock pads, flush your brake fluid with Castrol SRF, make sure your bleeders are snugged up good, and don't touch anything else.

You can run the SS track stuff (deflectors and rotor shield) for a little more cooling, but the stock stuff on the 1LE will do fine. I ran the SS track deflectors because I had them. I would like to believe that they helped out on this past 90F+ track day, but I have no reference point. All I can say is that I didn't notice any brake fad - pedal stayed firm and the brakes clamped down lap after lap on the stock pads and SRF. You can get a general idea of what temps are like in stock configuration from other's posts, like Ryephile's, though. Knowing what impact good brake fluid and brake ducting can do for a brake setup on track, I have to think there is an improvement there, for sure, but I'm not sure how much. If my car can run stock brakes with the SS deflectors on a 90F+ day, there shouldn't be an issue on a "normal" day on the SS 1LE stock stuff. |

Does anyone know if you can run the "normal" SS Backing Plate or the "track" backing plate with the SS 1LE front brake setup? Does it matter?
I was going to have my used 1LE front brake setup installed on my SS but the backing plates won't be here until next week.

How do you like them? I'm kinda pissed they didn't just use ZL1 brakes on the SS !LE, surely the cost wouldn't be that much different, did they do it so you could still fit 18's? Sure the SS is lighter but I have seen plenty of people overheating their stock SS 1LE set up. Quote:

Deflector = plastic part attached to the control arm.
Rotor Shield = metal part attached to the hub. SS, SS 1LE, ZL1 and ZL1 1LE have the same deflector stock. SS comes with optional track deflectors. SS and LS/LT come with a full rotor shield stock. SS comes with optional track shields. These same shields are on the ZL1 and ZL1 1LE. SS 1LE has special rotor shields, and the same as the GMPP 6-piston kit. |

So the SS comes with different deflectors AND shields? I thought the SS had no deflector stock but came with track deflectors not recommended on the street and the 1LE came with the permanently installed mini scoop deflector? But you are saying all cars have that mini scoopy deflector that would need to be removed to install the "track deflector"? So in post #10 of this thread, all cars have the part in the top image but only the base SS comes with the part in the middle to images? Did they think the larger brakes of the 1LE's and ZL1 didn't need this? What do the metal shields even do? Last can it be confirmed that the brake duct, (not the radiator pass though but brake duct further inboard) is only meant to shoot air at the small scoop deflector or larger SS option deflector, thus turning it into a duct would only improve brake cooling and not adversely effect anything else? Like cooling of the hub/caliber or inside fender air pressure/aerodynamics? |
