no Hawk HP Plus for the rears?

[alfisti]

I am getting ready for a brake job prior to my DE in a couple of weeks. I like the overall compromises with Hawk HP Plus pads (have used them before) but Pelican only seems to stock the fronts. Is there something I'm missing? should I just use a different pad on the rears, like HPS?

Thanks

Glenn,
We double-checked with Hawk today and they confirmed that they do not produce rear pads for the Carrera 3.2

Hmm. I looked elsewhere online, and it seems some people have been using Hawk HP Plus HB172N.595... is that something that is no longer made, or won't fit the back of a 3.2? It seems others have used that size.

Thanks

The Carrera calipers are also used on other car makes. The part number you list may be the same size and shape, but perhaps missing something like the wear indicator slot.

Or, the HP Plus compound may be different depending on the weight of the car, etc.
