is this gonna give me problems? my local parts shop has the matching rebuilt left caliper on hand if I feel like blowing another $100

The rear calipers on your wagon should be stamped with 36/38 on the piston body. The later 91 200, v8 and Scar rear pistons should be stamped 41/43. The larger size was used for the vented rear brakes '91> 200/v8/urS cars. Using the 41/43 caliper you will have a little better braking in the rear. Get the carriers from a 91 200/v8/S4 and the 91 200 vented rear rotors, you will have really good braking in the back. In fact, the same as the euro 200tqa's that show as "optional" here on ETKA.
