Default Brakes Question

I was thinking about updating my brakes...but first I need to know...

are the 91's rotors, calipers, or brackets any different for the 92-94's?

There's a guy selling them and he says they only fit those years for some reason. I'm not entirely sure though. All feedback welcome

The J55 brakes a heavy duty option for 88-96 vettes have 13 inch discs instead of the 12 inch that are standard.

There are a lot of brake upgrades available for C4's online
