Default HAWK Brake Pads

I picked up Hawk brake pads at the Summit Car show in Ohio a couple of weeks ago. When I looked at them today they didn't seem the same as the OEM'S.
They have a tab in the large rad on the backpad, they dont have the steel cup style locator's on the backpad .
Part # HB247F.575 / D731 HPS
Do I have the wrong pads or do they need to be modified ?

Thanks Mark

I don't know if you got the wrong pads, but Hawks are a lot better than OEM. Just make sure that you bed them correctly.

Thanks. I went on the Hawk web site and they are street pads for a C5.
Looks like today I will attempt to trade them for C4 pads.
