1990 Iroc front brakes?

I bought a crashed 1990 Iroc yesterday and I was wondering what sort of front brakes these have and if its worth swaping them into my 1992RS?

take a look at them, they are either 1 piston iron calipers or more likely aluminum PBR 2 piston ones, the aluminum are better stock brakes, if the iroc has them and you 92 doesn't, swap them over if you want

You mean its more likely it will have the same 1-piston iron calipers that every other 82-92 thirdgen has. Only the 1LE's and the '92 B4C's have the 2-piston calipers, and they account for less than 1 percent of the total thirdgens.

It's possible someone swapped in PBR's. Check the following pic (if this is what's on the 90, you'll want them in the 92):
