Brake pad same for AT and MT?
hi all,
am trying to order hawk pads. but from their site, there is only 1 common part number for their pad. Is the pad similar in size for AT and MT?

He's as bad as Can
I checked a dealer site http://www.finishlineperformance.com and they showed the same part for rear pads. They did however have different front pads for RX-8's with 18" & 16" rims

Believe me, it uses the same pads. I had a base auto 8, used mazdaspeed pads, ebc green stuff and hawk pads. They only make one kind of pads for the front. I am more than positive that you can buy any aftermarket pads and it'd fit both manual and base auto.

just got replied from HAWK:
"I have done some research on the braking systems in the different RX-8 cars.
From what I can find the pads are the same shapes and sizes in all of the
2007 RX-8 cars. So the FRONT - HB470F.643 and REAR - HB378F.626 are the
correct part numbers for your RX-8."
ok...i'll go ahead for the order
