The rotors on all C5 are the same.

The Z06 calipers are painted red, the coupe/convertible are black, under the paint they are the same .... front and rear.

The front pads on a Z06 are a different compound than the coupe and convertible.

On all of the non-z06 cars I have seen the stock calipers are "silvery" and appear to be without a painted finish.
