Product Description:
1982–1992 Camaro & Firebird Big Brake Upgrade Kit – Gen 6 Camaro ZL1/ZL1 1LE 6-Piston Calipers with 15.4" Rotors
Take your third-gen Camaro or Firebird to the next level with the most aggressive factory brake system GM offers — the Gen 6 Camaro ZL1 and ZL1 1LE 6-piston front brakes. Designed for ultimate stopping power, heat control, and visual impact, this Hawks Motorsports Big Brake Upgrade Kit adapts these massive Brembo calipers and 15.4" rotors to your 1982–1992 F-body using our custom spindle system.
Both caliper options feature six pistons and utilize the same enormous 15.4" two-piece rotors. Choose the silver ZL1 calipers with the “ZL1” logo for a clean factory look, or the red ZL1 1LE calipers with the “1LE” graphic for a more aggressive performance appearance.
This kit is designed to work with C6/C7 Corvette front hubs (recommended) by machining the rotor center bore from 67.5mm to 70.6mm. If you choose to use the factory Gen 6 Camaro front hubs, no rotor modifications are needed, but you'll need to account for the 5x120mm bolt pattern and M14 studs — not compatible with factory third-gen wheels.
Key Features:
- Choose between:
- Silver ZL1 6-piston calipers with "ZL1" logo
- Red ZL1 1LE 6-piston calipers with "1LE" logo
- Giant 15.4" two-piece steel rotors (non-slotted) for maximum thermal capacity
- Built around Hawks’ precision spindle assembly for bolt-on fit
- Ideal for high-performance builds and modern restomods
- Stainless braided brake hoses for improved pedal feel
Kit Includes:
- Hawks Motorsports front spindle assemblies (C7 hub compatible)

- 15.4" two-piece steel rotors (non-slotted)

Fitment:
- 1982–1992 Chevrolet Camaro
- 1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird
- Works with:
- C6/C7 Corvette front hubs (requires rotor center bore machined to 70.6mm)
- Gen 6 Camaro hubs (no machining required, but uses M14 studs and 5x120mm bolt pattern)
- Requires minimum 19" wheels for caliper and rotor clearance
- Compatible with OEM or aftermarket front suspension setups
Notes:
- Rotor machining is only necessary when using Corvette hubs (recommended for 3rd gen bolt pattern compatibility)
- Gen 6 hubs allow unmodified rotor fitment but are not compatible with OEM third-gen wheels
- Hawks guarantees fitment only when using C7 hubs and correctly machined rotors
Whether you want the clean look of the ZL1 silver calipers or the aggressive red 1LE variant, this Gen 6 Camaro big brake kit brings elite-level stopping power to your third-gen F-body. Built around Hawks’ precision spindles and modern GM engineering, this is the ultimate front brake system for any serious build. Order now and stop like never before.
