Hawk HPS 5.0 brake pad question

[Sean R]

I have seen the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads listed for the Stinger GT fronts, but I have not found anything for the rears. Do they make this pad for our rear brakes, or is there a cross reference to another model that will fit our rear brakes...Thanks for any help.

Yeah I say those, but there not the hawk hps 5.0 pads like the fronts would be.

Hawk hasn't made rear pads yet but hopefully soon..

 

[Sean R]

Would you mix the hawk front pads with something else in the rear?

 

[spider55]

Sure that wouldn't hurt anything.

Agreed

Disagree. Different compound pads will change the brake bias of the car... and it could do it in a positive, neutral or negative way depending on which compound is front vs rear. The safest and most predictable bet is to have the same compound all around or a gripper compound up front. You probably won’t notice much on the street if you mixed them unless you’re really stomping down on them.
