Huge thanks to Jamal for the tip on the 08WRX. After a whole bunch of photographing and googling calipers I'm pretty sure that my car uses 08 WRX calipers and pads front and rear.
Problem is the iffy choice of pads available, especially rear pads.
My first choice would be Ferodo DS 2500s front and rear but can't find a full set available for sale online.
So I'm debating between:
- Ferodo DS 2500 fronts and Hawk HPS rears (a la Sam Strano)
- DS 2500 fronts and stock rears
- Hawk HP+ front and rear
- Sacrifice small animals or virgins in hopes of digging up a full set of Ferodos.
Carbotechs would be nice but I don't really want to skim my brand new rotors and shipping new ones in would be hella expensive given my location.
Mostly aggressive street driving but I do AutoX and these WILL see the track more than a few times in the coming months.
Any advice appreciated!

Or just buy LGT 2010+ rear rotors, calipers and brackets?
Front are WRX for both I think? I have spare WRX rotors I bought for when the OEM ones crack next week, so I'll find out soon enough I guess :P
