Best source for Porterfield pads?

Who has the best price on the Porterfield RS-4 pads for our cars? Anybody shopped around for these?

I got mine directly from them. They ran $500 for all 4 corners. Still in the box, waiting for a rotor match up!!

So far it looks like buying straight from Porterfield is the cheapest.

How much is formymercedes? Make sure they are the right compound. i got the street racing one, NOT the full out tracking one.

Porterfields give a much more linear heat soak than do the OEM ones, so the point at which heat becomes an issue is much later in the game. Also, they cool off much quicker.
