I have seen the Hawk HPS pads on ebay have square/round sensors(97 didnt have wear sensor right?). So can they still fit?

On ebay, the part number HB269F.763A only fits 99.5+ model (in sellers' description)
and HB269F.763B fits 96-98 models.

But on Hawk's website, it seems all of them will fit my 97.

So which one I should go for?

Can they fitted with stock caliper?

Thanks!!

 

Anyone could answer the questions? I am in hurry...Thanks!!

 

Because Mintex is made in CHINA!

Don't waste your money or time. Hawk HPS is hands-down the best pad for the money. I've had track and street experience with EBC Red Stuffs, they aren't nearly as good as Hawk HPS, but are a good option if Hawk isn't available. The GreenStuffs are simply OE style replacements and will not provide you with any more stopping power than OEM pads.

But since Hawk HPS is made in America, and they are available for your Audi, buy Hawk.

 

it is best to get the pads with the right wear sensor plug, if i rember right there are 3 different plug types

 

If you don't have a wear sensors on your car, then buy pads with no wear sensors - will be cheaper. Otherwise, just cut the connectors off the pads.

 

i actually have duralast gold in the front and same in the rear...i got hooked up at auto-zone and are actually working surprisingly well....i beat on em pretty hard and break amazingly well...and are very quiet as well...just another option for ya...

 

One last question, does Hawk HPS pads fit with stock caliper? Thank you very much!!

 

Of course. Just buy the ones for your car. ECStuning carries them.
