pretty sure they are the same. if you want bigger brakes on the rear you would need to upgrade to a gen 1 rear brake setup. however, the front brakes do the majority of the stopping so unless you are running larger open wheels and want to fill in the gap there isn't much reason to. the more the front end dives the more hydraulic pressure is sent to the front wheels.

93-99 are all the same solid rear disc brakes. Calipers, rotors, pads, everything is the same.

90-92 had vented rear disc, and as mentioned above you'd have to change to this setup, get 11.6 rotors (front rotors for 96-99 SHO), and adapters from www.shonutperformance.com if you wanted larger rear brakes.

If you can score the 90-92 parts and the adapters from SHONut cheap enough, it's a decent upgrade, as mentioned above, it fills in the open space in your wheels nicely and gives you a little more braking in the rear. Especially if you have bias plugs installed.

Those front calipers that said SHO are most likely the Cobra upgrade calipers. I forget who sold them originally (SHOSource maybe?), but they are pretty sweet looking!

SHOsource sells them. they're cobra calipers that have had COBRA ground off and SHO painted on. you have to buy their brake upgrade though.
