gsl rearend

Just came across a pretty good deal on a gsl limited slip rear end. I was wondering if the Gsl retains the 4x110 bolt pattern? Just bought set of Kosei K1's and dont feel like buying new wheels already.
Also other than the proportioning valve and master cylander is there anything else I should get with it to make the swap into my 85 gs??

Just make sure that the rear is NOT from a GSL-SE! They have a different bolt pattern.

Get the e-brake cables if you can. They are different.

Don't need to swap the prop valve or master cylinder.

the master cylinder IS different for drums or discs. All the Mazda parts schematics that I have show the same part number for the proportioning valve however. I'd get the master cylinder.

Yes, it's different, but it will still work. (In fact some people swap drum-car masters onto their disc cars!)
