I kinda thought that all dealerships would have been that way.... i'm learning otherwise... i just got off the phone with a ford dealership, trying to find out some info on the taurus fans, and all they could do was sit there trying to convience me that what I was talking about couldn't work, and it was a bad idea and blah blah blah.... meanwhile, i overheard in the background the other guy telling the guy on the phone that they didn't even have the information i was looking for... I just wanted the physical dimensions... guess i'm gonna have to go to the junkyard and find out and measure it myself....
well dealerships for the most part only know what the exact specs are for an exact vehicle. for example, they KNOW that gs rotors will fit on a gs with gs calipers. they KNOW that gsx rotors will fit on a gsx etc... they are not officially trained or taught by the dealership as to whether or not a gsx rotor would fit on a gs. they don't officially know about swaps like that, because when some john doe comes in with a gs and he wants a brake job, they put on the normal brakes and parts for that car.
one place that would know specs like that would be an autoparts place, like auto zone or discount. ive had numerous times where they mentioned that the part numbers are the same even though its for a different make, yada yada.
good luck with these brakes though. the gsx (big) brakes on a gs or gst is not an uncommon swap, so you should be able to find information on it somewhere.
edit: here i found this

this guy did the swap, he used 95 gsx brake parts, and said they were a direct bolt on.
