You made a good choice. Put them on my 997.2 and I haven't had to clean my wheels for weeks as opposed to being disgusted by the black break dust that covered my front wheels after only a few hundred miles. I barely need to clean the barrels now. Took me a while to make that decision to change to the Hawks but well worth it.

I've been running the Hawk pads on my last 2 Bimmers, my prior C4, and my current C2S. I love em. Sorry I can't advise on part numbers for your model... but I wanted to confirm their dusting is minimal and the little bit there is harder to see. Their performance is just as good as the OEM pads in my opinion and I have never had squeal problems.

And oh yeah, they come with the silver harmonic damping discs and have the holes and attachment points for the wear sensors.

Thanks for the post and your help and others too. Hawk pads are going on tomorrow and I will follow the break in process as well.
