    2003 Front brake pads

    Hi,

    Nobody seems to have a listing for the '03 Proteges. Not Hawk, not anybody. I called Mazdaspeed last summer after I got my DX and they said to get Hawk HB 219s, I think. I ordered some from the Tirerack but they were not the same as the pads that came on my car. Dimensionally they are similar but the factory pads sweep more area and have different mounting tabs on them. Tonight, I was browsing through an EBC catalog and I think I stumbled on my pads.

    FMSI #D637, EBC pad DP2971, Hawk HB211

    These are used on mid 90s Probes, some Kia Sephias, Mazda 626 and MX-6 cars and now, it looks like '03 Proteges.

    I'm gonna verify this hopefully, tommorrow.

    This is so cool! I really really need better pads for autocross.

    Hawks "HP Plus" work great for auto-x, and they make some for the DX, but be prepared for brake dust the likes of which no mortal man has ever seen and lived to tell about it. Seriously, I had some, they worked great, the brakes grabbed RIGHT NOW, but the dust was so bad I sold them to a friend who uses his P5 for auto-x only, not dual purpose like me.

      Yep, did, and they fit fine. Went with Hawk HP Plus (HB211).

          Alas, no, EBC doesn't make the "Green Stuff" (or any color for that matter) pads for our cars. I too have heard they are excellent.

              I haven't noticed any noises I'd call abnormal or annoying. I get a slight squeak once in a while that could be because I didn't put in the stainless steel anti-squeal shims or whatever they are back in with the pads. It didn't look like they'd fit around the Hawk pads.

              Hawk HPSs are supposed to be comparable to EBC Greenstuff according to the Tirerack guy. I used them on my Neons with no dust problems and they worked great. I think they are available for the different Protege front brakes, HB219s or HB211s depending on rotor size.
