Default Hawk brake pads are a modified pad?

Does any one have these?

Do the front pads make a clicking sound?

I just heard that these are modified pads not a s2000 specific application? Does anyone know for sure?

I don't believe that Hawk makes a S2000 specific pad. I believe that King uses a Del Sol Hawk pad to make a pad that fits the S2000.

Yes, there is some noise from these as they are a bit smaller than stock. On my car, they make the noise when I first hit the brakes each trip and that is it. They also don't use any shims or grease.

Get the custom ones from Carbotech or Porterfield. They are S2000 specific. Hawk HB113s is a loose fit. They work though. HB145s are perfect for the rear.

Thanks Guys!!


I'm thinking that I will have to go with something else on the front. I don't want del sol pads on the car, that's for sure!!

Endless EP-353 pads are made for the S2000.



CCX pads are highly recommended.

Mingster - are ccx and endless the same thing? sorry I'm a little not in the know when it comes to brakes,

I'm going to cancel my order with King since Hawks aren't actually made for the car.

Where can I pick these up??

johev-

The "clicking" sound is pad shift. All pads shift- some more than others- if they don't fit loosely, they don't get off the face of the rotor when the brakes are lifted.

I wouldn't worry about the pads. I've used that exact modified Hawk fitment many times with no problems on the track.

I have OEM on the car now and there is no brake click at all, I really don't want any clicking...I hear ya' that they are fine for track, but I think I'll go with something that is actually designed for the car and not just something made to fit.

I just have to decide whether to go with OEM, Porterfield or what? Endless see pretty pricey from the postings I have been reading over the last half hour or so...
