1978 to 1990 Impala and Caprice are identical. Watch the wheel bolt pattern though. Some had 5 on 5 bolt pattern and those also had 12" rotors and a taller spindle. The 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern was much more common which has a 11" rotor.

There are Buick, Olds, and Pontiac versions as well but I don't know those off the top of my head.

1977-1996 GM B-Body:
Chevrolet Caprice, Impala SS / Buick Roadmaster, LeSabre / Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina

Not all these cars were built from 77 to 96, but it will get you close.
