gsl-se suspension

ok, picked up an 84 gsl-se about a month ago. It needs a bit of work but will be fun. first off i need struts up front. Are they dfferent than any other first gen? I've sorced a pretty cheap set of struts, they say they are for 81-85. will these work on my SE. The reason i ask is because i was looking at a different site earlier and there was something about a pair of struts for 81-85 exept gsl-se. Just trying to cover my ***, i don't want to buy a set of struts and not be able to use them in my car. Thanks
Dom

Se struts are all by themselves. Tokico makes them in either standard or adjustable. rx7doctor

all the struts are interchangeable, however the gsl-se came with different struts from the factory.

again they are all interchangeable so even the special gsl-se struts are the same size as the normal ones
