Default Caliper Comparison
Is there a difference between the stock C5 caliper and the Z06 calipers? Other than Red in color...

I had to get new calipers -one piston would no loner function on the rear caliper and I wanted the red ones. They were cheaper than the oem grey ones -call Brian at Scoggins-Dickey.

I replaced my calipers last year (wilwood front, OEM rear) I put the Z06 rear calipers side by side with the factory ones and they are the same down to the numbers stamped on them.
