The more grabby 03 pads vs the less grabby 05+ might be what you are feeling. Understandable.

 

So Hawk HPS pads are not really any better than OEM in 05-06' coupes? I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a swap, preferably before it needs it, on all four wheels.

 

I have used hawks in multiple other setups and loved them but I do not have them on the G yet so take this for what its worth.

I think if the car is your DD and you do not drive aggressively and generally just roll down the street theres no need for hawk. However if you drive fast/stop fast, ever go to the track this is where the hawks would be beneficial.

The G is a relatively sporty car and I would assume a lot are driven as such in that case I'd be getting hawks (which I am).
