Default Can anyone help me to identify these used brake pads?

I have all these sets from prior events, I usually would use a set for a weekend and then stash them away and use another set for the next event. I didn't label any of them, so now I'm wondering if they can be identified from the markings on the backing plate.

I've written down the numbers that were stamped on the pad back. I think the ones that have 02AM are DTC 70, and the remaining pads are comprised of Hawk Blue, maybe an HPS+, and I really don't know what else. The 02YL might be the Hawk Blue pads, not sure though.

These are what the pads are marked with:
02YL-one set
02GM-one pad
03GM-three pads
29GH-one set-Blue
02AM-one set-DTC 70

I'm not concerned about the rear pads, and it looks like one set was mixed with 02GM and 03GM markings.





Any help would be appreciated.

I just checked my hawk Dtc, hps and hp+ spares and they all have HB247G, 247G and 247F stamped on them. Could all the GM numbers mean OEM?

Are your numbers stamped into the metal or just printed in some way? The numbers I have are impressed into the center of the backing pad.

Out of the set above, 1 set might be OEM, and all the others are track pads. I've never bought any OEM pads, only 1 set of ceramics (on the car now) and race pads. - on second thought, you might be right, I may have saved the set that was on the car when I bought it with 25k miles.-on third thought, no I highly doubt it since they don't have the wear 'noise maker' on them... I'm sure they are some kinda Hawk pads now.

Thanks for the numbers though.

thanks.

now all I don't know are these:

02YL-one set
02GM-one pad
03GM-three pads
-these were mixed for whatever reason (bought that way)

I really don't know what they could be other than a Hawk variety, one set is an HT10 for sure, and I have no clue on the other.

bump for super sleuths. I contacted tirerack, where I bought most of them from, but they weren't any help, and Hawk didn't answer the phone at the early morning hour I called them.
