Brake Pads
I went to order Power Stop Z26 Extreme Performance Brake Pads for my 2014 Z51 package and there is a choice between which rotors the car came with. Standard or re-designed for better cooling? Anyone have an idea how to tell which one came with the car? All the build sheet has is J55 and no mention of anything about a re-design. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter which rotors you have - the improved ones just replaced the troublesome (prone to warping) fake two pieces originals.

Just as an FYI - the Z51 and base brakes use the same pad size & shape. The rotor is larger, but the pad sweep area is the same, its just pushed out an 1/2" further.
No brown rotors with the Z23 pads on my Z51.
