I dont have the measurement but you do know that the only difference between the C5 Z06 caliper and the C5 caliper is the red paint?

I got a good price on a brand new set, so I put them on. The paint looks cleaner than when done with a spray can, and the letters are silver. That is the only difference.

I'll get it off my car tomorrow, just wanted an exact measurement.

I want to know the diff in width of a Stock C5 rear caliper vs. a C6 Z06 rear caliper.

I know the C6 Z06 caliper is 5.73 wide.

I'm not sure how thick the red paint on the Z06 caliper is, but it's the only difference dimensionally from the stock C5 caliper.
