4 piston brake pads online?

Ok so I've been to just about every auto store in town to try and buy 4 piston brake pads so I can complete my TII conversion. No one has any in stock! Well except this one loacally owned store but they aren't even sure if it is the right one that they have in stock. Everywhere charges about the same, from $45-$55. I don't really know much about brakes (I'm a noob when it come to them), I don't know how much 4pot brake pads are suposed to run. I dont' know what if it is beter to buy ceramic brakes, organic blend, or semi metallic? So does anyone know where online I can buy good brakes for my 4pot front brakes and 1 piston rear? Is there any special one I should buy for drifting my car Vs Daily driven? I'm using OEM TII front and rear brakes. Any help would be appreciated Thanx and happy holidays!

But to answer, most NORMAL break bads are semi-metallic. And you should be able to pick up a set from autozone for 20-30 bucks.. I checked the price the other day, it was like 22.50 or something.

The 22 something was probably for single piston breaks. All the four pistons I ran by were $50+.

You can get Hawk HPS pads for 53 for the front axle, 49 for the rears at the tire rack website.

Nope... 22 something for four piston. I only have had four piston sevens... so.. I wouldn't look at any others. Next time I go I'll verify... but, I'm like 80% sure.. heh.. now you have me second guessing myself.

I think they are the same for FC's and FD's. I know that the Hawk part #s are the same.
