Look online. partsgeek, import rp, and usautoparts three cheapest places ive found. I recently bought 4 front winhere rotors with "high carbon content" for about $90 shipped from usautoparts.

I have ebc yellow stuffs front and rear. They are pretty decent. Not sure if they would survive a track day session of 20 minutes on a heavy brake use track but they do pretty damn good for autox and dd.

It's not recommended but I didn't have any problems especially if you follow this. If you follow this you'll be fine using any pad, it's what I do when I retire my track rotors for street use.

For you guys using Carbotechs' XP and OEM pads for street, is it okay switching back and forth without bedding in again?

so are you guys swapping the rotors as well when you switch to track pads? Also, ive read good things about the HP+ pads. I dont have a problem with oem ap1 pads yet...they do seem to need a few stops to get them into their zone. Do the ap2 pads dust more because they stop better? usually this is the way?!
