Just a note... he did specifically ask about Brembos which are quite different than the OEM non-Brembo pads on the 03/04 Coupes.

HAWK pads also come specific for Brembo brakes!

Jairen, how can you call anything "hype" that works? HAWK HPS pads stop our cars extremely well, they last 30K+ miles and leave very little dust on our high $$ rims! Track, that doesn't compare to making canyon runs on the tight narrow turns at high speed above Santa Clarita on a regular basis! SLICK and I were on the track at Auto Club stadium a few years ago when I ran 18" wheels/tires, sure the speed is higher but the cars ability really shows itself with my suspension mods doing twisties in traffic or trying to follow rice rockets!

Are our pads the same as the evo and sti? If this is wrong can someone give me a part number for rears and suggest a good place to buy?

The reason why I say that Gary is because they do not offer much fade resistance over OEM pads. It's isn't a secret and widely known. I used to canyon carve lot when I was in SoCal. Almost every other weekend. I constantly pushed it hard enough to find its limits. The lack of initial bite is also widely known with HPS pads. Great price though.
When looking for HAWK pads the best place to buy them is our Marketplace under vendor brakes.

Among my poor experiences, here are some other testemonials regarding poor performance with Hawk pads.
I just ran 300 VERY HARD miles in a STEADY rain (Raging Bull Texas Stampede). HPS pads SUCKED *****. I love them otherwise, but in the rain, they sucked. Of all the pads I have had (05' OEM, EBC "green stuff", and Hawk HPS), I like the OEM pads the best. They have very little dust and had great cold/rain stopping power.
It's been discussed here and in the Brakes and Suspension forum, but Hawk pads really aren't that great for the street. While they dust less than OEM and have better fade resistance, they don't bite very well. They will require more pedal effort than stock pads will. I have used Hawk HPS on a prior car and was not impressed; in fact they made the car scary in the rain and cold weather.
