Good vendor to get brakes from

Im looking for a good vendor to buy brakes from that ships to Canada. I called my local autoparts store for a quote on front and rear rotors and pads and they told me over $700!!!!! That wasnt even no top of the line crap, just basic pads and decent rotors!

Cobalt has 60,000km on it, the pads still got lots of life but the rotors are warped. So im looking for some good quality rotors and pads, dont need top of the line but i dont want cheap **** either.

Which vendor would be a good one to go through for a good deal right now?

there is a local shop here that can get pretty good prices on alot of stuff like this, its called outback automotive, its in auburn....if you were to buy them through john (shop owner) i could either meet you up north, or have rob take them on one of his trips
if you want to get ahold of him tell him that Tom with the silver cobalt sent you

or hell, order them from john, then come to my place like 3 miles away and we can install them...no duties that way
