Turbo brake pads same as NA pads?

Can I use the same brake pads for both S5 Turbo and NA? I'm guessing they're the same, but I just want to make sure before I buy them. Thanks!

It depends on the NA, some have the same brakes, others don't. All the rear pads are the same, but the front pads are different depending on if it's a single piston or a 4 piston caliper.

Even if the rears are "vented" rotors? 9for the back) I DO know that the caliper is wider, but not if the pads are different... i guess they should be the same, but it IS a possibility that the vented rear rotor version is different...

Theyre the same if your n/a has 4pot brakes in the front. FD brake pads are the same as well.

The rear pads are the same from the GSL-SE 1st gen all the way to the FD.
