Not much available in the caliper department. I think the only brake kits are the move it kit and the one from motorsport warehouse.
Rotor are a personal preference. There are lots of ones to pick form. drilled, slotted, standard, or cryo treated to name a couple.

Yes, I got them and they improve the pedal feel.

Yes, it will help keep temps down and extend the life of your transmission.

You really do not need a transmission cooler for any models 94 thru 97.
I have a 95 and have had no issues with temps. The 92 and 93 transmissions weren't designed right and overheated..causing premature failure.
