Default Brake question

Is there a difference between c5 coupe and c5 z06 brakes besides the painted calipers? I know it seems silly, but no one seems to be able to answer the question for me. Thanks a ton!

In the C6 variants there are differences. But all C5's used same calipers.

The ZO6 ones are red. That's all.

Front pads on the Z06 cost a few more dollars than for the coupe/conv.
