Default Sport brake pads

I have an 08 Sport 2.4 L with the JL9 anti-lock brakes. None of the listed Hawk Performance brake pads fit this car's front or rear calipers. Hawk has given up and says they have no brake pads for this car. I have tried Hawk's 517, 524 and 548 fronts and none of them fit. The front pad on the car measures 4.65" x 2.20". AC Delco lists a 171-0973 pad set for the JL9 stock brakes.

Does anyone know what the FMSI number is for the brake pads on this car?

What kind of performance brake pads work well on the street for spirited driving?

there is no need to really upgrade your brake pads honestly. even with "spirited driving" you wont generate enough heat on the street that your stock pads can't handle and on the other side if you upgrade you may not be able to generate enough to actually make them work efficiently.
