Hey guys.
Are the pistons in a 2002 Z06 front calipers aluminum?
If so, anyone change them over to stainless steel for less heat transfer to the brake fluid?

I changed my 01 Z over to Doug Rippie stainless pistons on my track car. It seemed to help with brake fade at the end of the 20 minute HPDE sessions.

Stainless steel pistons help a great deal
Changing to DOT 4 or DOt 5.1 ( Five point one) Brake fluid helps a lot. Change it often.
Min WET not drying boiling point of 400* or higher
