Other Audi models share brake parts with my 1990 90 model?

I'm rotating around to several audi parts vehicles I've found. I would like to snag calipers for all four corners and rebuild them at my leisure on the bench so I can just yank mine and bolt on the rebuilts in a quick operation on some future nice sunny day. I have access to the following rigs:

1989 AUDI 80
1991 AUDI 100
1987 AUDI 5000
1992 AUDI V8 Quattro

Depends if you have girling single piston fronts or ATE single pistons. Rears are 80/90/100/200.10v/5000 quattro specific G38 not vented.
90 20v single piston caliper front rotors are specific to the 90 20v and hard to find new. V8q's use vented rears and G60 dual piston calipers up front so unless you plan on upgrading they are aren't useful to you. Any more details on the V8Q color int/ext.?

So, if I have one or the other (Girling/ATE) is one better than the other? And if I find the type my car does NOT have would it matter if I rebuilt those and put them on my 20V?

I'll note the 8's colors and see what is there. Pretty sure it was a grey interior and silver exterior. Picked over a bit, not crunched if I recall correctly.

Single piston girling vs. ate the only differences are the carrier/sliders. They use the same rotors and pads so they will interchange. Just be aware that the dual piston front calipers require 15" wheels if you are thinking about upgrading.

Thanks for the head's up on the 15" requirement. I was thinking of upgrading to 15" just for the summer tires as I have a line on a nice set of 15" Audi rims from that era. The car came with practically new 14" studded winter tires, which I'll put on the original BBS basket wheels. So, I'll stick with the stock brake setup. Frankly, I can't imagine that a properly maintained stock brake setup would be anything less than appropriate for the 20V's added power for my purposes. Messing around with track days might change that, but still.....
