Yup. They overheat and warp, even with street driving.

2014-2016 Z51's included these stupid Band-Aids to supposedly help:

I'm chalking this rotor design up as a failed experiment into making a poor man's 2-piece rotor.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Interesting. You'd think on a car at that price they would be able to give you legit 2 piece rotors. Isn't that part of the z51 upgrade, better brakes?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Yes, the Z51 gets better pads & rotors (same Brembo calipers), along with brake cooling ducts & guides. The revised 2017 Z51 rotors are still an upgrade over the base Stingray rotors (larger + slotted). If you want true 2-piece rotors though, step on up to the Grand Sport or Z06.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I assume GS/Z06 rotors are different in overall dimensions, thickness/diameter?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Front yes, rear no.

Here are a couple pics I took last night after fully detailing the car over the weekend.

I should probably do another round of touch-ups with the Doctor ColorChip kit before it goes bad; I think they claim it has a shelf life of about a year.

Looking good!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Now that the pads are broken-in, initial bite has gotten better, but still not quite as aggressive as the factory pads. Overall stopping power is great though. I stood on them doing about 130 down the Tollway last night and they hauled the car down very nicely and sent the leftover pizza in the trunk flying :lol: As long a they stay low-dust and silent, I will be very happy with them for street pads.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Looking good! I like the carbon badges. :)

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

So fresh and clean!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I found these interesting, my friend just did them last night. This car is similar to mine, Z51, but does have the automatic transmission and is bone stock. Regardless, I was impressed!

Those Vettes are supposed to have a really good balance. Get into the driver's seat and see where it goes.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Impressivly balanced from the factory!

Mmmmm, Corvette.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

So AFE just released these...

Primary cat-delete pipes aka downpipes (with or without 200-cell high-flow cats). Along with their 3.0" catless X-pipe (I have Borla's 2.75") they're claiming gains of +24/+24 on the Z06. My gains considering I already have the X-pipe, maybe +10whp? Regardless, intriguing product that got my attention. I need to figure out of the high-flow cats they use are enough to prevent a CEL or if it would need to be tuned out like any of the various headers on the market.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I heard back from AFE and they say its about a 50/50 chance of getting a CEL with these. With the catless X-pipe, they saw +18whp on the LT1 is the +10 mentioned above is likely accurate considering I already have the X-pipe.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Those look quality. Wonder if you can work with them to get a set, and if they throw a CEL get a refund since it's 50/50.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I tried to angle for a discounted pair to be a test subject on the forum but no luck. I could always do the spark plug non-fouler trick if needed I suppose.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Can't you just eliminate that CEL with a custom tune?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Just get a tunez dude :)
