Default Swapping out stock F-Body brakes?

You'll have to excuse me if this is a stupid question but I couldn't find anything with search or stickies. Just needed to know if all the caliper assemblies for '98-'02 F-Bodies are the same. For example, are the rears from a '98 Firebird, or fronts from a '99 Camaro exactly the same as the stock units on a '00-'02 Camaro?

Well… not everything is the same. For example, I know the clutch assemblies have slight differences between the Master and Slave and such. And, I believe I read somewhere that the AIR and/or EGR systems changed somewhat between '98 and '02. I know these are minor things which is why I ask the question. I've never read or heard anything about the brakes changing, just wanted to make sure.

What?! No one has any counterpoint? This must be one of those unworthy questions.

Brake components are the same, however the best person to ask would be a sponsor/brake vendor.

He meant all the brake components are the same.

I mean I am only 33 and in college still, but that was the question in the original post right??? Are the brakes the same, how in the heck did we get into EGR and slave's?

I was merely making a point that there have been minor changes in different systems on the F-Body between the 1998 and 2002 models. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any sort of similar changes with the braking systems. I assumed the brakes were the same during those years. I was just looking for some validation on my assumption, that's all.
