Default Hey guys I need some advice of changing brake pads

Mine is 04 350Z roadster(Touring)
Nissan calipers, 18'' rims.
I got this car in Oct 2012.
Now I need to change my rear brake pads, can any body give me some suggestion? I tend to get the HAWK HPS, but wonder which one will fit my car, as following link. $61.52 or $61.29?

Any halo will be appreciated!
Thank you guys

I've heard debate, but their own site lists no rear brakes for non-Brembo. I have their front brakes and they are fine.

i wouldnt really think you would need a high performance pad for a stock car. Just get some stoptech ceramics or something for the rear and hawks or ebc's up front.

Just call Z1 Motorsports in Carrolton GA and tell them your year/model and they will get you the right pads - a bit more $$$ according to their web site but the best service in the Z community. I like HPS pads due to the low dust and decent performance for the street.

To answer your question, both will since they are the same part #'s - HB370F.559. The slight differences are due to different sellers. Although on the official HAWK site there is no listing for 2004, rear non-brembo brakes, the part # is listed as compatible on Amazon and a couple of other sites I checked (eg. RT2s2.com). To check compatibility, I would contact your seller just in case.

You can get brake pad/rotor sizes from the Tire Rack. Their link is on the right side of this page.
