Turbo Brake Rotors fit on Non-Turbo?

This might be a silly question but im looking for new front brake rotors for my 88 GTU NT. I see they sell brembo slotted for 86-91 Turbo. They dont sell for NT. Technically they are just stock size with an oe fit. Will the turbo rotors fit on mine?

The '88 brochure isn't in the Standard Specs sticky anymore, but the an '87 GXL and '87 TII both use 4-pot brakes and 10.9" vented front rotors. The S4 GTU was one of the higher-end models, so if you have 4-pot brakes, you should also have the same front rotors.

88 GTU = high performance N/A version (kinda like the GTUs of S4)
89+ GTU = base n/a version

Mazda decided "GTU" was a sexier name for the lowly base model for 1989.
