Need help ordering brake parts.

I have a 85 GSL. (12a) It has 4 wheel disk. I dont think they made GSL's with 4 wheel disk so my guess is the previous owner swapped a gsl-se rear end, cause it seems to have posi also (MY friend claims it does because we did a "wheel rotation test" with it jacked up).

I have seen on ebay they have rear rotors and pads for 12a's and 13b's and I dont know which one to order if I wanted to get them. Cause I have 12a rotors in the front and who know what in the back.

Help please.

x2. Note that they are not the same as the SE rear rotors, as they are a different size, and have a different bolt pattern.

oh ok. Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that they didnt come with an LSD or disk brakes. I guess that solves alot of problems for me.
