I'll need to do my brakes sometime in the next year and plan on doing it myself. My question is where would you buy them? I imagine the dealer will be the most expensive place to go... Is there a better brand then OEM at a better price? I would not want to change calipers or anything as i feel like i'll never need more brake then i have. My commute to work is about 5 miles and no highway...
thanks!
thanks!

Try this website, they seem to have good prices on performance pads and slotted rotors.

I was introduced to this site through a friend. They have oem suppliers products, so it seems good. I order some misc items from there, they had fast shipping which was free too.
