I don't think that would be an upgrade, well not for the front. Those front rotors are the same size as mine, the ones I bought from Ian when he upgraded his fronts.

Yep, that would be a downgrade for Ian. Those are the brakes I just put on my car, C5 Z06. 13" rotor 1.25" thickness dual piston floating PBR caliper

| Is there any difference between the C5/Z06 brakes and the standard C5 brakes, other than the color of the caliper? |

No, there is absolutely no difference aside from the red powdercoating.

Some say the Z06 stuff was pressure cast vs drip casting? I only ever remember hearing about this back when the z06 came out, never again. |

With some quick internet research apparently all C5 calipers are pressure cast. Lots of people saying the only difference is the color.
