Brake difference between ZLE & ZL1

David Gordon · 04-12-2022, 10:42 AM

I tried to search this but no success.

I don't believe there is a difference in the brakes for a standard zl1 versus a zl1/1le. The only difference is primarily in the suspension package, and aero.

The color of the calipers should be the only difference.

Only difference between the ZL1 and the 1LE option is the aero, more sticky (and bigger) tires, hood wrap, rims, thinner rear glass, suspension, more track focused tuned transmission (for the A10) and the rear seat that can fold down but GM decided to take the strap off for some reason.

The brake system is exactly the same.

I thought the rear seat couldn't fold down in the ZLE?

They do, has to be done from the trunk. Pull down the little velcro piece in the middle top on the back of the seat and push the button inside with your finger or screwdriver

It can. GM got rid of the strap but the mechanism is still there. People have added their own strap to the attachment that is under there.

Also I believe that the gear ratios are slightly shorter in the 1LE 6sp manual gearbox vs the standard ZL1 6sp manual box
