Legacy rear brake pads = Turbo legacy rear brake pads?

I'm trying to double check that I have the right rear pads for my new turbo legacy rear brake setup.

Are the part numbers for the OEM pads the same for both the turbo and non-turbo rear disk brakes. I have the Hawk HPS pads that are listed for the non-turbo application. I have been told that they will work with the turbo caliper. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Thanks.

The OEM's are listed different because a likely difference in compound. However, they are the save size and will interchange.

So yes, they will work with the turbo caliper.

Where did you get the Hawk pads for a nonturbo? I ordered them from Titan Motorsports here locally (they had the world's fastest unibody Supra), and they said the rear pads have been backordered since APRIL!!

But yes, skid is right. Apparently the rear pads fit the same on both turbo and NA. Part numbers are different likely because the compound is different.
