J65 brakes standard?

85 Iroc with J65 brakes, if I order rotors/pads etc online, are J65's just the standard (with rear disc) brake package? I want to make sure I get the correct parts, some choices mention a "performance package" option, does the Iroc have anything special other than rear disc in 85?

The perf package is the 1LE option which your 85 wouldn't have.

For all practical purposes, yes.

Thanks James. Any ideas if I order regular rotors/pads from Napa, Advance etc if they will be correct for J65? Are my brakes any different than an RS or plain Camaro?

All four-wheel disc cars, to include the 1LE, are J65. Order the non-performance (10.5" rotors) version and you'll be good to go.
