C5 Z06 brake cheaper alt

Doing alittle research and finding the the truck brakes are the same as the C5 brakes but about 15 dollars cheaper with core and about 60 cheaper without core the only difference I can find too is they dont have the fins for additional cooling

Truck brake PN for autozone C623 42.99 caliper

i believe that because the vette ones are pressure cast vs plain cast. they should be stronger too.
