Brake rotor question

I was searching racing beat, and I noticed they have front brake rotors that are slotted. The only thing with them is that it says 1979-1983. What about for my 1984? Why wouldn't these work for my '84? I mean, aren't the discs and everything the same from '83 to '84. (They sure as hell look the same on both of my cars, and onw is an '83 and the other an '84.)

I believe the 84-85 cars have bigger spindles. I don't think they will fit.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Do you know where I could pick up brake rotors for my '84 then?

The Racing Beat site links to the PowerSlot site. The application chart shows they have the 78-83 discs and the 84/85 SE discs.

......but not the 84/85 GSL discs......

How about MazdaTrix then?

Oh yeah, the 84/85 spindles are bigger then the 78-83.

Yeah, it was more of a boredom thing. Had nothing better to do while I waited for my clutch slave and master cylinders to come in, so I was searching Racing Beat. Just thought I would ask. Not really looking into buying them or anything. Just a question out of boredom, hoping I could pull some information from it.
