Default 1986 944 turbo brake calipers

Hey all..can anyone tell me if the front and rear calipers from a 1986 944 turbo are the same or inter changeable on all 4 corners or do they have to be specific for the front or rear ?
Thanks

They are front and rear specific as well as side to side.

Andrew:
Not to distract from your original post but I wanted to ask what springs do you have in the front and how much did you have to index the rear bars to get that ride height. It's obviously lower than stock but doesn't look "slammed.

Also worth noting that 86 front calipers are different than the rest of the turbo / s2 / 968 calipers that followed.

In 86 you have 38mm and 36mm pistons in front, they switched to 40mm and 36mm for 87+. Rears are the same 30mm and 28mm pistons for all years.
