83 s with 85 gsl rear brake line question

If i want to get s/s lines should i get them for the 83 or the 85 or will neither of them work for both front and rear?

Should work for both. The person to ask is the one who sells them, Billy at ReSpeed.

The 83 S (Drum Rear) uses a single flex line to the rear axle. The 85 GSL (Disk Rear) uses a different flex line to the rear axle as well as a flex line at each caliper.

Just making sure you knew that. I don't think there was any change in the front lines from 81 to 85 but I do not know for sure. Someone else will have to chime in.

I know it's a dead thread, but I've got an '84 GSL-SE rear to swap into my '82 disc rear's place. Mazdatrix lists two different part numbers for SS lines: 81-83 and 84-85.

What is the difference? Hardlines still okay? I've got the fronts that will go on as well.

Thanks
