Unless your 86 5k is a very early 86 turbo or TQ...
It sounds like you have a naturally aspirated 5k and are looking at turbo 
calipers... If that is the case and your car is not a turbo, the rotors are
not 
the same, also turbo 5k's use a 5x112 bolt pattern and naturally 
aspirated cars use a 4x108 bolt pattern. It sounds like you may
be setting yourself up for some major work that will net little if any 
benefit.
