Rear Calipers

Im going to be upgrading to 5-lug hubs over this weekend and next week and I have a few minor incovienencing questions.

1: I already know im going to be using the 4 pot front calipers. But will I be able to use my original rear calipers with new hubs and the new brake rotor?

2: If I have to use the rear calipers from the 5-lug vehicle are the rotors different.?

My car is a 88 SE, seeking the 4 pot upgrades from a 88 luxury coupe, or whatever you wish to call a base with a sunroof that may have undergone a similar swap itself.

Thanks....I need to look a bit harder next time, though If I wish to use just the front calipers can I, or will I have to swap all of them out to keep teh brake system correct?

Have not heard otherwise, just test them out on a clear street when you get them on.
