hawk performance pad non-availability explained

[dsc_pat]

Thank you for your email unfortunately; I do not have any good news for you.
The pad shape required is D1184 which is the number assigned when
manufactured. This "D-number" is recognized industry wide and can be crossed
referenced to most manufacturers part numbers. However, we do not make this
pad shape and we also do not intend on launching until possibly mid year
2008. The demand for the Yaris pad has not been enough to justify us buying
tooling for it (approx $7000 each part number).

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks

Here is why we have to track our yaris w/o good old hawk pads...

hopefully gransport will come up with someting, since their canadian counterpart (Satisfied brakes) are making D1184 shaped pads....

Voilà

Vita Nuova
SS-Y
SS-S
SS-M
CC-A
CC-X
CC-R
etc...

www.endlessusa.com (site will be back up soon)
You can purchase from any Endless dealer though.

do you know what compound would compare to a pad between hawk hp+ et hawk blue ? i've no experience with endless !:thumbsup:

Here is a link to hopefully explain better:

Hawk HPS most closely resembles:
Vita Nuova
SS-S
CC-A

Hawk HP+ most closely resembles:
CC-X
SS-M

Hawk Blue most closely resembles:
CC-X
CC-R

If your after a pad that will work in day to day aggressive street driving and some fairly heavy track use then the CC-X is your pad. It will wear out the rotors quicker during street use. I would use CC-R for track only (or very spirited mountain runs).

Since the Yaris is so light and has drums in the rear, I'd probably stick to a less aggressive pad such as the SS-M or the CC-A for my style of driving.
