C5 brake differences?
I've searched this topic a few times casually but haven't seen a definitive answer... is there any real difference in the braking systems of the base C5 / C5 Z51 / C5 Z06 (other than the Z06 calipers being red )? Pads, rotors?

The calipers are exactly the same except for the color. The ZO-6 does use different pads on the front that bite a bit more and also tend to dust more than the other C5 brake pads.
This is very likely one of the main reasons that the ZO-6 wheels are gray...
Good luck... GUSTO
