you just need the gsl-se rotors calipers, caliper bracked, dust sheild and bearings

ALL 85-85 struts and splines are the same.

Yes that is correct. But you asked a simple yes or no question and onlyonthur answered it correctly. Next time you might want to rephrase your question to reflect what you are thinking about doing. Remember our crystal ball is still in the shop being repaired.

because its broke

so im looking at getting a gs and to convert the front end to gsl-se i just need the new rotors/calipers etc...do i actually need the dust shield though? i mean does it act like a space as in some cars or is it just there?

ps
i'll probably be asking a lot of annoying questions. i have an FC but and gettign an FB really soon and am still building up my FB knowledge

Just buy a set of GSL-SE struts and bolt them in, simple. But the rears will be different stud pattern unless you also change the rear axles, rotors, calipers from an GSL-SE.

Dust shields a misnomer as they direct air over the rotors for cooling, which brings dust along with the air. Keep them, the brakes will run cooler, add ducting to force feed air at the track.
