Glen, you've got that backwards, the HB190's are the stock 4kq/GT pad
size, and the HB135's are for the G60 calipers.

I know this one because I been buying the HB190's for two years now, and
the only G60 calipers I own are in a box in my garage!  ;-)

According to the guy that I buy the Hawk's from locally, the HB190's are
a pretty popular pad since they fit quite a few of the VW's that get
Auto-x'ed around here.
