Default Brake rotor question

I had the Baer 2 part rotors on my standard c6. I am getting A c6 with Z51 brakes Are the calipers the same just the brackets a different size, or is the calipers on the two a different size? Thanks.

The Z51 brackets are different than the base brackets as the Z51 rotors are a bigger diameter.

As for the calipers, the fronts are the same.

For the rears the Z51 calipers have smaller pistons, I think they are 3.5MM smaller but I'm not 100% positive of that figure.
