Quick Brake Pad Question (I really searched) =)

I was wondering if the vented rear brake pads are the same as the base rear pads on a s5?

I am doing a front 4 - pot conversion on my base 91 coupe.
Also, after doing a search, i dont have to change anything in the front brake setup beside the caliper and hardlines right?? (i think there was a debate about the softlines that come after the hardlines??)

anyways, So is it safe for me to order a "Turbo" brake pad set (according to rx7store.net on the green stuff pads)


On top of everything else, has anyone ever had experience with Green Stuff brake pads??? I was thinking about either Green Stuff, or Project MU NS or B Force...

Any feedback will be awsome

Thanks

Don't know about the Green Stuff pads, I'm using the Hawk HP Plus pads. But the pads for the rear vented rotor are the same as the pads for the solid rear rotor. To verify, go to a sites like TireRack or Hawk and note that the pads for both types of rear rotors have the same part number. The Turbo pad set should be what you want. Keep in mind that the rear (and front obviously) calipers are different for the vented rotors, and the Turbo master cylinder is different, although it's my understanding that the Turbo MC is not required for the upgrade on a N/A. I'm about to do the same conversion myself.

I've had good results from either Axxis MetalMasters or Hawk pads, both are good quality brands. I usually buy from Cobalt Friction, good customer service and prices.
