Per title, I appreciate if someone can tell me where can I buy Hawk ceramic brake pad for 997.1 in GTA. Did a forum search but nothing meaningful came up. TIA.

Reason: adding part # and pix
I bought these exact pads a couple months ago from Pelican, they had a great price and shipped via USPS which was cheap and no taxes / duties / brokerage. They don't have these listed on their site though, you need to email them and ask for the specific Hawk part #'s.
Now onto the pads themselves: if you're buying them for reduction in dust, skip these. That's why I bought them and there is still lots of dust, and it's just as black as the OEM pads. Very disappointed in that regard. Also, the guide holes in the pad backing plates, which the shims mate up to via their little raised bumps, don't line up - so the shim doesn't sit flat against the pad. At least not for the 997 turbo. Lots of brake squeal too, even with ample anti-squeal lubricant on the pad.
I ran Hawk HPS on my old C4S. Way less brake dust than these ceramics (which seems crazy but it's true), the dust was light grey instead of black, and dry stopping power was as good as oem pads. The trade off was absolute horrible, maybe downright dangerous, reduction in initial bite / stopping power in the rain.
I will likely go to HPS pads again in the Turbo as I don't ever drive it in the rain save for road trips once a year or so.
I bought these exact pads a couple months ago ........if you're buying them for reduction in dust, skip these.
Wow, thanks for the heads up..... I wanted these pads because people claim they reduce brake dust....now I think I will skip them and go look at TRW ceramic pads instead.... TRW is way cheaper too....
Btw, do people usually replace pads for both front and rear at the same time....or doing just front would be OK ?
If they are the high performance street ones they are very noisy. If it's for track duty you will always have tons of dust no matter what. Depending on mileage and wear usually just front but check the rear to be sure.
I used cool carbon pads this spring when it was time for new pads. Chose ceramics for the brake dust reduction and decent reviews online... Well, not worth it. Yes there's less dust, but not to the point that would make me want to sacrifice performance and silence, these suckers squeal as soon as they warm up.
Sticking to oem from now on... Good luck with whatever route you go.
I might be able to get some for you but won't know until next week sometime.
Are you in PCA?
No, not in PCA. Thanks for the generous offer but I think I will skip the Hawk ceramic pad after reading some of the comments on this thread. I might give TRW ceramic a try or not....we will see how my new soft99 Brake Dust blocker is working out.
I got a bottle of these at a show for $20 a few weeks ago and have put it on my wheels for 2 weeks, the car also has been washed once....so far these wheel dust blocker is working great, brake dust is not sticking to the wheels....the vendor said it will last much longer than the advertised 1000km ..... we will see....
I use Hawk Blue for the race car, and I love them. Dust?!?! Noise?!? You bet... great stopping power.
For Hawk pads I call up Perry Performance in Montreal. Actually, for many many parts/pieces for the race car, I call up Perry. Usually get the parts the next day... and they are totally up front about delivery time, cost, taxes, and are very helpful and knowledgable when it come to recommendations.

I ended up buying these off of amazon.ca last year for around $250 cad for the front and rears. Seems they don't have stock and are much higher in price (rears) today. Not sure where you can get them now. I run them on the street and they're fine. Initial bite is a bit less, but braking performance is still similar (can still lock up the wheels just fine). They produce a bit less dust but the actual dust is more grey rather than black like the OEM pads. If you have silver wheels, it'll be barely noticeable on them. If you have black wheels, though... you'll see the dust more than the OEM pads. In the end, I'm happy with them. They seem to last quite a while, no squealing/noise, similar performance, and half the price of OEM (if you can find them). I've autocrossed with them and they're fine and probably will be okay with a few 7/10ths laps at a track occasionally.
