Correct Stock Rotors? 1992 Z28 (G92)

I have a 1992 Z28 (G92). Does anyone know for sure if the G92 package in 1992 had "1LE" brake rotors. I am pretty sure they did but the "auto parts store" has me all confused.

If I do need 1LE rotors, has anyone bought from this seller

Look at your brakes, if the fronts have 2 pistons and are aluminum then they are 1LE, if not then they are standard.

If your 92 has rear discs, it'll have the so-called 1LE brakes (single-piston alum calipers with 11.7" rotors), even though all 89-92 J65 cars were equipped with them. My "guess" is that you have the standard Delco-Moraine calipers up front (single-piston iron calipers with 10.5" rotors). If you'd like to see pics of the front and rear 1LE set-up, check my Car Details below.

Rotors:
The Rears are 11.5ish"
The Fronts are 10.5"

Both front and rear are single caliper....

What does this mean?
1LE or Standard Rotors?

I wouldnt call any of that 1LE. Really the difference in the 1LE is larger front rotors. So you have the normal, 'standard' rotors. As does most everyone else who owns one of these cars and still have stock brakes.

As I suggest in post #4 and as Mad mentions, you have the standard set-up for four-wheel disc brakes, 89-92.
