Hawk HPS Rear Pads too Thick
I'm putting on new Hawk HPS pads and the rear rotor will not turn freely if i use the backing plate on the pad. Do Hawks require the plate on each pad or no?
The piston in the caliper is fully compressed and flush with the caliper housing. There is simply no more room to be had.
Have other experienced the same?

Yeah I ran into the same problem, the pads have a built in plates, so you just don't use them. I don't remember if the rears or fronts actually have 2 plates on each side, so I just used 1 on those.

Thread revive. I have the same problem and I'm pissed cause I bought 2 sets all around. I can't get mine in at all, even without the back plates.
I tried compressing the piston but it still sticks out about 1/4 inch. It's flush with the piston dust boot but that's it. Any ideas?
Hawk -HB158F.515. Is the part #
