rear caliper differences

Hi Folks
My 1994 LT1 with J55 brakes needs new rear brake calipers.
Trying to find rear ones is hard as they all say "non-J55". Is there any difference on J55 rears to base models? i know my fronts are 13" rotors with different caliper to base but are the rears the same?
Could you tell me where i can get refurbed or new rear calipers please?

Thanks a lot

J55 was only a difference in the front. As far as I know the rears are the same from ~88 or so up to 96.

IIRC 88 up 12" rears are all the same J55 or not.

Purchased mine unloaded at Auto Zone for less than 50.00 per side.
