Wont work, and is a definite down grade.
Will not work as the earlier rotors were both thinner and a smaller diameter, both the early and late calipers use 4 of the same sized pistons etc. so the upgrade/downgrade has little to do with the calipers and lots to do with the rotors.
IS IT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE?
I mean can I put 93's on my 91? you know calipers and rotors?

If you change the rotor, caliper and dust sheild you should be able to. I have all of the parts sitting in the shop to go with the post ~8/92 brakes on my 90 which have the same front caliper piston size, pads and master cylinder bore as the pre 8/92's so no worries there but I am waiting for 37x17" tyres and 4.88 gears first.

sooooo. that means yes. I can put the bigger calipers/rotors on my 91 without a problem and better braking?????
Me thinks the answer is a qualified yes IF you have all the piece parts and if you are running 16" or bigger wheels/rims...
You will also need 93-up knuckles. The caliper mounting points are different.

Post 8/92 calipers and rotors on pre 8/92 axle, progression pictures. Pretty much what I have based my assumptions on but I will pop of a caliper on my 1990 this weekend and try to bolt up a post 8/92 caliper.
If that's the case, I might be ordering calipers with bigger rotors at the next brake interval.
