Default Difference in '93 or '94 Brake Caliper

Is there a difference between the stock front brake caliper on a 1993 Corvette and the caliper used on a 1994 Corvette? I have an opportunity to buy a pair of Weld Racing Draglite wheels (26"X15"X5") that are currently mounted using a "spacer" on a 1993 Corvette. I believe these drag wheels will fit my 1994 Corvette if the brake calipers are the same.
Thanks

Same caliper, as long as one or the other isn't J55, 13" front rotor.

Hmmmm. I thought that Chevy went with 13" rotors as standard on '94 and up Vettes, and '93 and earlier had 12" rotors unless you had the handling pakage that included the 13"ers

I asked this very same question a few weeks ago...and was told that the 13" or J55 was not a standard until 95\96...the 94 has 12" rotors up front unless it had the special handling package...My 94 Vert has 12" rotors as well...
