Default Z06 Calipers, Aside from being Red, ANY difference?

Thinking about buying some Z06 Calipers for my '04 Coupe. Do they have more pistons or anything or are they just cool looking red?

TIA,

Ken

Damn! Red's not my favorite color either.

Anyone know of someone who does CUSTOM colors in powdercoating who maybe sends them to you with a CORE CHARGE then lets you send yours to them so there's no downtime? (Am I asking too much?)

I guess I’m cheap. I just removed the wheels, used painter’s blue masking tape and brake caliper paint. Looks great, and now I can use the money saved on go fast mods. But that’s me.
