Brakeperformance.com has good ones at good prices. I would NOT use their brake pads, HAWK HPS are great pads, several Forum vendors have them at good prices.

I went with the slotted/dimpled with black zinc-coating... very pleased!! I used the Hawk HPS pads... but the Forum Member who got the "free" pads that came with the rotors said he was very happy with their performance....
