Default 2g awd vs 2g fwd rear breaks... WTF!!!!!!!

Ok well Im in the middle of an AWD conversion and I just finished up the rear subframe swap and I was very confused when I saw my donor car a 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD with ABS has vented rotors!!! Im defenetly not complaining I love to autocross and stuff, but I was under the impression all 2g rear brakes were the same. Heres a pic of it check it out

yeah, that would slow the process quite a bit...

i know the gsx brakes are bigger, but i didn't think they were vented too...

does anyone know where i can get brake pads for the 95' AWD vented rotors... everywhere online sells rear pads that work for FWD and AWD which means its the smaller one... these dont fit ive tried.. does anyone know where i can get some pads (preferably HAWk) for my car?
