I did search the forums earlier today but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. My car has M calipers on the front, and currently have Hawk HPS pads (172.595 - pad thickness is .595") but they need to be replaced. There is a plethora of vendors to be found through google, but it appears that the pads I need are all on backorder and I am planning on going to a DE this weekend (yeah, i know, plan ahead better -- but I've been recovering from surgery and dealing with family funeral stuff for the past four weeks so no time for car stuff until now).
I have the Hawk catalog number. I like the HPS since I also drive the car on the street and don't want to hassle with changing pads. Porterfields have a great reputation on this board, so I talked to someone (Rich?)@ HPH to try and buy a set but he kept wanting to know what year the calipers were. I don't know, the PO did that and I'm not sure how to tell the difference. The person said call back when I do know. I know others who run EBC yellow, so I called a couple of vendors I saw from ebay to ask but I think my call got rerouted to Bangalore and nobody could tell me if they had what I am needing. Pelican appears to have OEM-type replacements, but I want something with upgraded performance. So hopefully someone here can chime in with answers - I have 911M calipers. How can I tell what year they are? Does anyone have part #'s for brake pads for either Porterfield R4S or EBC Yellow that fit the M caliper? Or perhaps does anyone know of a vendor who does have the Hawk HPS 172.595 in stock? Thanks!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
