FW: are 1986/87 5ktq brakes really different from other years?

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Thanks Eric and Taka for the info.  Now the million dollar question....drum
roll please....

Are the later 86 style significantly better than the early 86? (my car was
built in 1985 so I assume it has the early style)

Would the brakes from a late 86 or newer 5k bolt directly onto an early 5k?
(calipers, rotors)

This may be a reasonable route for me to pursue.
