Default Difference in calipers
What is the difference, if any, between the standard C5 calipers and the C5 Z06 calipers, and why are the Z06 cheaper? (not by much, but cheaper)

thanks

I thought the only difference was the Z06 calipers were painted red. you would think they would be more because of that extra step.

Yep, one is red, one isn't. There's your difference.

3rd time is a charm. while I can only assume they are cheaper because more are sold, the only differencr is the paint. SAME EXACT PART
