Long story short, Slyvain (that's his name right?) likes to argue with customers and make them feel like shit. Could've caught him on two bad days when I dealt with him, but two times being hassled when you're trying to give that person money is way too many times. Customer experience is big for me.

rockauto.com I suggest you compare prices between all suggestions, often rockauto has the best deals. I would also just search the part # of the pads you want on amazon, sometimes you can get good deals with prime shipping.
also if your doin it yourself get some brake grease and some extra brake cleaner. |

Rockauto shipping (especially on heavy brake parts) to Canada is pretty horrific. I was going to order calipers and rotors but shipping was almost $300 Canadian. If I shipped to a US address at the border it was under $100.

Bummer about the shipping prices, that totally sucks. I got 4 rotors (2 front, 2 rear) and got them shipped to me in Southern California for $13.98. Hope you find the Canadian equivalent with good deals and acceptable shipping costs, if you search enough I'm sure you will find a good deal. |

Nice, I got some Centric ones also, they are nice and painted. So since I just finished my brake job I was looking at the Centric rotor/pad seasoning process and decided to use this other process from Baer which goes into much more detail on what your doing and why. I didn't like how much heat you put into the centric rotors right away (using Centrics process), and they just say go from 60 to 10 but do not say how much braking force to use. Im currently breaking in my rotors and pads using Baers method because last thing I want is to warp my rotors from not breaking them in properly due to following non detailed break in instructions. |

Hit up Alpha Motorsports in Markham. They know what works best on these cars and have fast turbo and NA 86s that compete and track regularly!
