I will point out that the anti-vibration/noise reduction ears or whatever they are called are much larger than stock. No matter, when the pins are inserted the stand-off from the caliper is fine. There is no contact with the caliper. Follow the typical bedding instructions. I have 600 miles on the pads. There is no squeal and hardly any brake dust at all even after several periods of driving in wet weather. Bite is as good as stock. I highly recommend these pads.

Any updates on this?
To confirm these do come with the silver tabs (can't find pictures with these even on Hawk's home page).
Destroyed a set of Cool Carbon during some high speed runs (straight line) and want to ensure this does not happen again.
