Are Brake Calipers same on all model years?
I was looking at replacement calipers and noticed that some sites list '92 to '95 fitment only.
Is there something different with the '96 - '97 calipers?

Re: Are Brake Calipers same on all model years?
They should be the same.... I looked up the part numbers for 92's and 97's and they are identical.
BTW Rockauto.com has all 4 calipers with hardware and pads included for $268 plus shipping (Fronts $73 each, Rear $61 each). I bought my brake stuff from there and they are great.

FWD cars use a different rear caliper with a slightly smaller cylinder.

 Nah, setup is identical only the piston is smaller. I looked this up after I posted because I need to add my AWD calipers to mine, never did it, and couldn't remember how much the difference is. Effectively 3.2 mm!  2WD effective piston dia. 34.9mm vs. 38.1 for AWD
