I'm looking to replace my pads all the around, and the fronts were no problem. I'm going Hawk Performance Ceramics. However, the rears have been troublesome. Hawk's website lists two compatible rear calipers, HB370Z.559 and HB600Z.539. Amazon and Autozone suggest HB600Z.539, while Tire Rack suggests HB370Z.559.
I went with another forum post that stated HB600Z.539 was the correct fit for our coupes, but the conflicting information has me second guessing. Any one with Hawk's have a definitive answer? All I could ascertain is that the difference is in the pad thickness.

Update: went with the HB600Z.539 for the rear, and they were a perfect fit. Used pro ceramics on all four corners. No squeaking at all, great bite, dust remains to be seen but hopefully lower than oem. Can highly recommend the hawk performance ceramics so far.

my ceramics are SQUALING like a mafa
braking is great, but noise is quite something else

Re: Rear Brake Pad Replacement
Do you have the Hawk performance ceramics? did you do the bedding procedure on the box? Mine are silent, great bite for pad only replacement, and my wheels still look like they've been washed. I'm extremely pleased with them, no wet weather issues either.
