Default hey everyone

im new here, just bought an 02 Z28 and was just wondering how hard is nitrous on these engines and how hard is it to change the brakes on these cars the rotors are vibrating when braking any help would be appreciated.

Nitrous is Ok if You buy the proper kit. Don't make one up Yourself. The brake rotors probably are warped and need to be resurfaced along with a new set of high quality ceramic pads. Welcome to the forum.

Warping rotors is common on these cars. The OEM ones are junk, replace them with a decent aftermarket set or even replacements from any parts store are better than the originals. Look into the N.O.S dry kit, it's and easy install and as long as you stay below the 100 hp mark you should have no troubles. LS1's respond very well to nitrous

Get a NOS EFI kit. That will be pretty easy to install. Rotors are probabbly shot. Make sure that torque the lug nuts even so you don't install your rims "warped." Are you looking for a performance brake set up?

Bendix rotors are good factory replacements.

While you're there you might want to upgrade your brake lines to stainless steel braided lines.

Hey thanks for the info I was looking at the summit rotors. Is it ok to just change the front and not the back?
