Default I just got mine from AWE, there aren't that many places that carry.

www.awe-tuning.com has em. Price tables also listed. Red Box are the best I hear (that's what I gots). Don't forget the 7MM hex key before you start the job. I did and had to BIKE to Sears. HAHAHAHAHA

Default Got mine from Adirondack and impressions

Before you install, be sure to chamfer the pads like the OE ones to prevent sqeeling. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but the rubber backing keeps coming off through the caliper causing squeeling. The brakes feel good but be careful when you first put them on...REDUCED BRAKING POWER FOR ABOUT 600 miles! Brake dust is minimal, a definite plus.
I'm changing over to Pagid Blue this week to see what they have to offer.<ul><li><a href="http://www.germanautoparts.com/">Adirondack</a></li></ul>
