Man, I wish I hadn't waited so long to get this done. My ZL1 has been making this horrible grinding noise for weeks and I kept convincing myself it was fine, you know how it is, life gets busy and you just turn the radio up. Finally got to a point where I couldn't ignore it anymore, the pedal started feeling weird and there was vibration through the floor. Took it to a place in Al Quoz that a mate from the car community recommended, said they actually understand American muscle. I'd actually come across their details before when I was searching online for a
Camaro brake pad installation workshop Dubai because they had a page specifically for the ZL1 which made me think they'd know their stuff. Turned out the pads were completely finished, like metal on metal on one corner, and the rotor was pretty badly scored. They sorted it out with proper performance pads, bedded them in correctly, and now the car stops like it should. Feels totally different, way more confidence inspiring. Lesson learned, don't ignore the warning signs. If anyone else is putting theirs off, just get it done, these cars deserve proper brakes.
