Correct front brake rotor for 85 GS

I'm currently replacing all braking components on my 85 GS. My question is: Would the rotors of a GSL fit my GS? I connot find any for sale especifically for a GS only, GSL or 12A are the only descriptions I find. Now I do have a 12A but I would rather ask the experts on this site to prevent me from buying the wrong rotors and having to return it along with re-stocking fee's. Sorry for it being so long.

To answer the question correctly. :-)
Yes, all models except the GSL-SE are the same for 84-85.

If you haven't ordered yet, search this ite for rockauto dicount codes. Good for 5% off. I also have a rockauto code if the ones that you find are expired.

I ended up getting them for $62. Would that be a good deal for the set?

Yeah. I got them for about that price, but they wouldn't accept it when I tried to return them. I made sure the guy knew that it was for an 82 and not an 85 and he still sent me 85.

Thumbs down in my book for rock auto

Jeezus, I hope that doesn't happen to me I'm still waiting for them to arrive along with the brake lines calipers and pads. This car was really hurt it's like the previous owner really didn't take care of it as much as he should have.
