sorry fellas....so, when I go to buy EBC Red Stuff, they come two per box or two sets per box? Meaning, do I just need two boxes or four boxes (since eight pads total for front brakes, right?)

If you use the links Gustaf posted in the EBC red thread, You wont have to worry about all that.

I just bought a full set from autopartsway.com for $152.64 shipped. They provide coupons on their Twitter page that gave me a 5% discount.
Here are links to the pads:

The box for the front comes with all 8 required pads. The box for the rear comes with all 4 required pads. I sprayed mine with an anti-squeal just in case. The pads are the best of all worlds - they are quiet, dust free and stop hard!

Josh, It could be my machine, but the links won't open. Going to their website by other means has a difference price(higher). I just put new pads on a a couple thousand miles ago, but may have to buy me another set of fronts fo next time.

COMPLETELY off topic - why the heck aren't you lined up at RAVEN MS to get the 6SP Manual trans?!??!?

On topic - Good thing the order came into yesterday but it was nearly a day too late - boosting around the rural 'hood and at the top of a crest, I "gently" let the go pedal down ... hard.. then a big fookin' UPS truck pulls out in front of me to go the opposite direction - I gave it a generous helping of rotor clampage - along with some sphinter pucker - no to say it was close but close enough were I was wondering if someone could see chunks of rotor coming off due to the brake pad pins... F@#$!!!

At least chunks weren't flying out the spinchter. You should see what the UPS guy posted on brown.com about a bullet coming right at him...
Good to hear you avoided the merger..

Prompt service from Autopartsway! I already had a spare set of rear pads. However; at $71/free shipping for another set with the above link and code (thanks Markla182!), I ordered away on Thursday. Wow- Fedex just dropped them off at my door on a Saturday!
