Default Brake Pads - 2006 Base Model 350z

This may seem like a dumb question but I want to pick up a set of HAWK Performance Street/Race brake pads for my base/stock front brakes (I received a give-a-way so I have to go with this brand). When selecting the 350z model on their website the only base option is "base with brembo front caliper". I have a base 2006 350z with stock brakes, no brembos. However, their site allows you to select all of the other models without brembo brakes.

Are the base model stock front brakes the same as all of the other models without brembo brakes? (enthusiast, grand touring, touring...)

If so, I will just order them with the "enthusiast without brembo front caliper" option.

Thank you!

First, all the non-Brembo rears are all the same, regardless of year. Second, the front non-Brembo calipers changed in '06 to a larger dual-piston design. So, make sure you order brakes for an '06>. Base, Enthusiast, Touring, are all the same. The earlier front pads will be too small.

+1 to what dcains said. Also, I love my Hawk HPS pads, will probably stay with Hawk from now on.
