Default Z06 brake size

A friend of mine has a 1998 pace car and asked me to install new drilled and slotted rotors and new calipers and pads. He ordered all the parts from Mid America. Today he brought his car over and we installed everything with no problems, but I pointed out to him that the calipers were the same size, even had the same PBR part number, as the ones that came on his car. The rotors were the same size also. He chose these parts because they were advertised as Z06 calipers. Were the Z06 calipers and rotors the same size as the stock C5 brakes?

I believe they're exactly the same, except the Z06 came with powder coated calipers
