Forum vendor KNS brakes. They have a post in the autocross and road race section.
Give them a call - they will hook you up.

The wife ordered late on a Monday and we had the pads by Thursday so I could install them on her car on Saturday. Price was competetive and service was fantastic.

I don't about the cheapest but I bought mine from summit. Keep an eye open on the rear pad shims. Mine slid down off the pad and were ready to cut the rotor (about 1/2" away from the rotor).
A google search will show that many others (import guys ) have experienced the same w/the hawk. I ended up getting a new set from hawk and of course they never heard of this before....the new ones did the same except this time they only moved about 1/4".

Heck I checked and ebay got about the same price and no shipping cost.

I bought the Hawk HPS pads from Tire Rack. Fast shipping and decent price.
