I want to get Hawk HPS pads, easy right? Well I guess not... I found that Hawk has two different part numbers for the HPS pads for an 89 rx7. For cars with "standard" suspension, and for cars with "adjustable suspension". My car came equipped with adjustable suspension, but has been changed to aftermarket coilovers. Anybody know the difference in the pads? The rear still has the same part #, but the front is a different part #. Any ideas? On ebay, a guy has them as "hard suspension" and "standard suspension".

Depends on if you have 4 piston brake calipers or not. Here, the mazdatrix page has the part numbers for both:

thanks a bunch! The Hawk website basically says that unless you have auto adjusting suspension, you only have 2 piston calipers.

 

No such thing as 2 piston calipers on an FC, ALL the rears are singles, then in front it's single or 4 piston.

 

whoops! thanks for the correction, I haven't seen anything other than 4 piston.
