hawk performance pad non-availability explained
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 Thomas Blough Regional Sales Manager Hawk Performance 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....

Should be part #EP 382 and you can choose any of the compounds they make:
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. |

Here is a link to hopefully explain better:
http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/english/eindex.html 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. |
