what's in a brake hardware kit?

new dustboots? new seals and stuff???

The rebuild kit or the hardware? IIRC, the pins ARE different lengths (because the Aluminum calipers are beefier to make up for lower density).

Pins don't come with the hardware kit (at least none of the kits I have bought have). You need to get those separatly.

So...AFAIK, the shims and pads are the same. The pins are different lengths. The wire clip that holds the pins in are the same. The metal plate that spaces the pads out (that the pins hold in place) may or may not be different...I don't know offhand.

Check the fiche at www.twinturbo.net to find out for sure.

EDIT: Shims and pads and wire clips aren't necessarily the same, but interchangeable...if that makes sense. There are multiple hardware kits listed in the fiche.
