depends on the set up.

For the 4 piston front brakes with vented rear rotors, yes the brakes (calipers/pads/etc) are the same for both series.

But for the single piston front brakes, no the calipers are different between series.

no, different calipers however, they might use the same pad.

Solid rear rotors, had either 4 lug or 5 lug

Yeah, your 91 is 5 lug, and the 86 base is 4 lug. The rear pads are the same for all fc's, I'm pretty sure. In fact, they are the same for my wife's '03 Mazda 6, too. I guess mazda liked that pad size for rear calipers.
