Default 04 Z06 changes ?

I am aware of the new suspension change and new battery for the 2004, but I have also been told that the 2004 Z06 has a new alternator, starter and uses ceramic brake pads. Is this so, and are there any other changes/upgrades that I have not listed?

I've heard or read nothing about the alt or starter, but a big NO on the pads, it uses Z06 specific high performance pads.

You are definitely right about the new shocks for 04, but I think you're info is off on at least the ceramic break pads. I have an 04 and I do not believe it has ceramic pads. There was also a color change for 04. The "Quicksilver" was changed to "Machine Silver." It's very similar but the MS has a tint of tan added. Good luck.
