There was an extensive thread over in the Tech/Performance Section that discusses this very issue.
This should be an easy over the counter mod on any non Z51 C7.

If you're going to use OEM sized Z51 rotors, you'll need new front calipers too...While the brakes are the same, the castings are different to allow for the +1" diameter. If all you want is the slotted look for your stock sized rotors, I'm sure they're out there or will be soon....

The calipers have their mounting point offset (casting) by a 1/2" to comp for the larger diameter disc. The pistons themselves are the same diameter/size as the base C7 brakes. They may interfere with the smaller diameter wheels on the base units. One of the reasons for the larger diameter wheels on a Z51 is the larger calipers. Has anyone actually done this yet?

I am not looking to put the actual Z51 rotors on this vehicle.
I am looking for slotted or grooved rotors that fit the existing envelope.
