Okay, now I thought all non-SE 1st gens had the same front brakes, but I was looking into replacing the rotors on my '85 S model, and I found two different part numbers. One for 79-83, and one for 84-85's.
What the difference?
I found some rotors for cheap on e-Bay but they're for 79-83. I want to know if they fit.
Thanks.

If it's anything like the Oz cars (which it never is
) the later cars have vented and slightly bigger discs on the front while the older cars are solid.
That'll be where your different part numbers come into it.

Oz cars -
'79-'80 Series 1 - Solid & small discs, 4x110mm, +20 offset using studs (I assume you mean studs that screw into the hub, as opposed to nuts that screw onto a bolt).
'81-'83 Series 2 - Solid & small discs same as S1, 4x110mm, +20 offset, using studs.
'84-'85 Series 3 - Vented & bigger discs, 4x114.3mm, +38 offset, not sure on the studs or bolts.

Rear:
S3 and GSL-SE = Vented
The rest = solid rear discs.
