Hawk HP Plus Front, but what about Rear?

Does anybody know if the Hawk HP Plus Brake Pads are available for the rear wheels as well? If not, then what are you using for the back pads?

Also, where is a good place to buy Hawk Pads?

-Thanks!!!

Thanks. That was what i was wanting to know.
I think i may go with Hawk HP Plus on the front, and their HPS on the rear.
What do you think?

Why do you want to run HP + up front? They are only ment for the track, you do not want to drive around with those pads on the street:
1) They squeel like hell, ever time you hit the brakes
2) You need to heat them up for atleast 5 minutes before they even really start to bite
3) They aren't really worth the money

Do yourself a favor and get some nice HPS pads all the way around, or even save a little bit of money and get some Axis pads.

I'm speaking from experience, b/c I run the HP+ on my Bmw and it really sucks for street driving.

Well according to Hawk even the HP Plus are not in their racing line up, but instead in there street performance line.
I need a set of pads that i can use for both the street and auto-x. I see what your saying, and the HP Plus maybe too much. Hmmm. Honestly i don't think i will mind the squeeling. Our brakes squeel now, and i love it.

HP+ squeal so bad that I had to take them off just for the simple reason I got tired of people telling me that my brakes were worn out and needed new pads. Just a PITA
