hi,
the 1985-1987 has the emergency brake in the front. 88- have the emergency brake in the rear, as do all 9K's. Your rotors are ventalated in the front, solid in the rear. All Turbos, and most of the later S models in the date range were the same. However, the rotors are smaller than the 1988-. you could swap over to newer style fronts and rears. The lugs are different on the 88-, same as the 9K', but I don't think you have change over to them. You might want to if you go this route since it will open up more wheel choices.
I believe the swept area is more on the larger rotors, so with proper pad selection you should be able to stop better.
Lastly, someone here will know, I think that the 9K's rears are the exact same as the 88- 900's.
Don't forget, you will have to make changes to the brake cable setup.
Find as complete a donor car as you can...
