What other models have same brake calipers as me?

I have a 1990 GXL. 5 bolt rims... "heavy duy" ASA suspension.
I think that after 1990, they are all like this though.
Anyways, I need a rear drivers side brake caliper... I've seen a few in the classifieds, for S4 TII's and such, no S5 N/A's.
What will fit?? S4 TII brakes? etc... (Also, if anyone has one, PM me please!!! I need....)

No, all five lug cars have vented rotors including the S4's.

calipers would be the same between a 5lug tII and 5lug n/a (for the rear, at least)

Parking brake lever seal was leaking like crazy....tried to replace, the shaft and nut wree frozen, I snapped it, there is no way I am going to try and repair it when I can get used caliper on here for 30 bucks. It would be a pretty involved job.

Thanks for the info!
So far, only found one guy in Calif that has a caliper! I'll try posting in the Canadian forum..
I'm in Windsor, Ont.. so Michigan would be good too...

Might want to try a rebuild kit. They are not that pricey. Also, try autozone or advance auto . They might be resonable. I bought rebuilt rear calipers for my 86 base at advance.

Not sure about rears, but I got rebuilt front calipers for $33 each for my fronts, 4pot too (without core charge, since they knew me)
