I would love to be able to pick them up today but I am guessing that Checker and Pep boys do not carry anything decent.

2nd that - totally fixed my "warped rotor" syndrome
Just swapped out the OEM pads for the Hawks this weekend. Bought from tire rack and they had the sensor wires, although the wires are a little shorter so it will require some slightly different routing.
Once I swapped in the new pads, my brake shimmy from speeds over 60mph was gone. Most people assume this is a "wapred rotor", but all I changed was the pads and the shimmy is completely gone.
I find these pads very progressive with great initial bite. They are also 10x more fade resistant than stock. I wouldn't go racing on these, but they are a significant upgrade from the OEM pagids IMO.
