Im looking for a set of Hawk HPS pads preferably although Mintex 1144s or others would do too. Car is mainly used on the road with occasional track use and is a 2007 3.0si.

I checked with Cambridge Motorsports and the Si could have had two different brake systems fitted between 06-09, which requires different pad sizes. How do I tell what size fits my car?

If you enter the car model into the link below it shows the two different sizes for front & rear:

I ran my reg through Euro Car Parts and according to their website the pads in the above link that fit are the HB227 for rear and the HB464 for the front.
 
I've never seen different sizes but that doesn't mean I'm right! Can you RealOEM your VIN and match the part numbers?

I'll try RealOEM and report back

I had a look through various websites and they all bar one report the front pads to be 155 x 63 mm and the rears to be 123 x 43.7 mm
 
I would avoid Hawk personally. Ran them on my Wilwood 4 pots on my track car and the pads were ever so slightly too large by .4 of a mm. Enough that the pads wouldn't retract and would constantly bind up on the discs. Not to mention that the brake dust was terrible and they ate through discs in no time. That said they did stop you very well. I have since swapped out to Wilwood own brand pads and am much happier. Everything works as it should and with less dust, less wear and equal amounts of stopping.
 
Just to give an update to this, I managed to find Hawk 5.0 HPS pads for my 3.0si after a long time looking!

I got them fitted last week with Pagid discs and so far so good.

Last year I fitted yellow stuff all round with new pagid discs for my Spa/Mettet trip where they performed great but got very hot and ruined all 4 discs and the pads disintegrated shortly after, I imagine these pads just need better cooling to them due to the high temps they cause and in hindsight I should have gave them extra an extra cooling down lap.
