no it´s not

they don´t fit
the ZR1 has different axles
just swapping axles won´t help, though,
as they don´t fit to the C5 diff

I will install a Bosch Race ABS into the C5 (racecar).
That Bosch Race ABS needs wheel sensors that send a rectangular signal.
But the C5 sensors send sinus signals.

So if I want to use the race ABS, I need ZR1 hubs.

I will get some custom axles fabricated.
Then it will work.

What do the Z06 ones do? You can also convert sine waves to square waves-might be easier!!

Could do that with the Motec ecu, too.
But Bosch doesn´t want that....they say safety reasons....
