Question Hawk HPS 5.0 only available for rear pads? (g37x sedan)

Doing some searching online and can only seem to find the HPS 5.0's for the rear of my car. I've read rave reviews on this site and others for this specific pad on the G37, but can't find any fronts. My car has the 320mm front and 307mm rears.

Does anyone know if Hawk makes the 5.0's for the front?

Yeah, they only have complete sets for the base coupe 330mmFront/330mmRear rotors and the big Akebonos 355mmFront/350mmRear.

Stoptech has a new Street Pad which is supposed to be a good daily driver w/ more bite, but dusts less than the previous Street Pad, might be worth a look. FWIW Stoptech now has 2 sets in their line, a Sport and a Street (the Sport is closer to what was their previous Street Pad).

Which Stoptech set are you running? I have the previous Street version (prior to mid 2016) and the stop really well but dust quite a bit.

Shopping for stock pads now. On CarID, for a '10x base they have 3 sizes for the front 320, 330, and 355mm. I know I do not have the 355 but I didn't know there were 3 sizes. Then there is this thread (and others) on the different '10 sizes. Is there a way to use the vin for the determination of the sizes?

For your X sedan you will have the same set as the base RWD sedan, that's 320mm Front 307mm rear rotors.
