Love my Hawk ceramics. They came with the wear sensors (my car didn't have that provision) so I cut the wires off and threw them in. Perfectly fine to do so.

You won't have any compatibility problems with them. Plus the ceramic pads seem to have a stronger initial bite and they have only about a tenth of the dust that organic pads have. Makes a good case for them to me and I don't regret them for a minute.

if you go with the hawks just make sure on the rears you remove like the metal backing (its like a little metal plate that faces the caliper)... on mine it sliped and the metel sheet went foward and ground into my rotor, luckily it wasnt on the face of the rotor
