A Simple Brake Rotor Question, 'tis all

Okay. 1984 GS.. My rotors are... not good.

Saw these on e-bay... auctioned as "79-83"... what's the difference that prevents me from using them? Or is he just misinformed about the years? I dunno.. With a price like that, I'd love to get them!

Hey vipernicus42, don't buy those rotors! the wheel bearings on your '84 have a bigger o.d.(outside diameter) than a '79 vintage. If you want to use the earlier rotors, you have to change spindles and strut tubes. Spend the extra dough and get the right ones!
