I won an auction on eBay for a set of Hawk brake pads for the rear of  
my 7. Problem is, I have no idea what compound they are.
The box says;
Hawk Brake
HB158
Y-5
EXP

The pads them selves say:
HAWK BRAKE
HB158 Y 5
BURNISHED

paint on the backing plate is black.

They're definitely a semi-metallic.

Any ideas?
IF Y is the compound, that's the "LTS Light Truck and SUV" compound,  
which is silly, since the HB158 only fits RX-7s...
