Default Quick J55 Question

Yes I searched and found a bunch of info, but looking for a definitive answer...

What is needed off a late C4 parts car to convert standard 94 brakes to J55? Just the caliper and rotor? Or is there more?

Calipers, the 13" rotors and the J55 mounting plates/brackets

And the pins to secure the caliper (or you can buy a kit at NAPA that has a pin with notches for regular and J55 brakes). I just converted my '91. It's a pretty easy swap. Pick up some new crush washers for the brake lines (if you're not buying new/reconditioned parts).
