Default LS2 LS3 Brake Differences?

Are the brakes different from the LS2 to LS3 (Non-Z51)?

I may be picking up a slightly used set from an 07 and I just want to make sure it will work for my 08.

Thanks for your help!

the rotors are the same, the rear calipers are different. the Z51 rear caliper has a piston thats 2mm smaller, don't know why? but ALL the calipers bolt up the same

No, as far as I know Brembo only made the ZR1 brakes Maybe the Z06 brakes but I am not sure on that. But not the Z51 or Base Brakes.

Brembo made the brakes for the ZR1 but not for the C6 Z06 or the C6.
