Default Difference between brakes on Z06 and coupe?

Pretty much what the title says; is there a difference in the brakes between the Z06 and the regular coupe? Was there caliper differences and/or rotor differences? I've done a little research and they seem to be the same.

these are the only differences, it really isn't that big of a deal... it's nothing like on a c6 going from base brakes to z06/grand sport or even zr1

Like the others have said....red paint and a different pad compound. Everything else is 100% the same.
