as stated by another, all of the rears from the years that share the same wheels..... meaning the 1988 and newer c900's can use the 9000's caliper, rotor, and pad. the wheels are interchangable too, many put Aero or Super Aero wheels from the 9000 on the c900 (1988 and newer).
btw, you can cross check this by going to eEuroparts.com and look up the pads and rotors as above.
As to the FRONTS. the 9000s do NOT use the same calipers, at least from 1991 on. I don't know about the earlier years but again you could cross check as above.
WHAT YOU CAN DO... is to completely upgrade the c900 1988 and newer, to the LARGER calipers that use larger swept area pads on slightly thicker rotors (but about the said diameter) in a nearly bolt on situation. you will have to make bracket to secure the hard brake line that mates to the flex line that transitions to the fitting in the wheel well. The additional breaking force is excellent and no other changed are needed.
We race them in the Lemons cars, and others have done this for their street cars too. you can do a search here to see others experiences and tips.
