From what he saw, the part numbers for the rear calipers are the same. i.e. any aftermarket/performance rear pad for a STi will work for us. But...

He said that the part numbers are different for the front pads... He said that it doesn't necessarily mean that the pads aren't the same size but maybe just different compounds from the factory?

If anyone has real life info on this please add, I know autocross season has started for some. but I still have a month or two to break in the car and get summer tires and brakes...
I've been working with G-Loc to get pads for my BRZ and they suggested the GP1001 shape pads for the front axle and the GP961 shape for the rears. CSG confirmed those numbers as well. I should have them this weekend (ordered yesterday) so I'll update with more information then.
