I don't have the calipers here to measure the decals. Does anyone know the size of the ZR1 decals?

It's not just the size, its the shape that is different between GS/Z06 calipers and ZR1 calipers. They both say "CORVETTE" but with different graphics -- the GS/Z06 has the word with some additional 'circles' to highlight piston location, where the ZR1 just has the word.

I bought the smaller size on there and it seemed too small, I haven't tried the larger size yet because I found a set of OEM black decals. I'll ask the guy where he found them.
Additionally I'll take a pic tonight of the vinyl next to the caliper so you can see what I mean.

No such thing as "OEM black decals".
OEM caliper graphics are painted, not vinyl decals.
Other thing to keep in mind is brake calipers are harsh environments when it comes to die-cut vinyl decals. High heat cycling, corrosive brake dust and strong wheel cleaners are not going to be good for the decals, especially the thin circle graphics.
Not so much an issue for garage queens but daily driver owners better purchase multiple sets of vinyl decals if you don't clear-coat over them.
You would be much better off getting stencils made and have your local body shop shoot the graphics.

^ when I say OEM I mean with the circles and "corvette" emblem. There were some copyright issues if I recall and I couldn't find an OEM looking set of decals anywhere except for the one person that sold me his set.
