Best place to buy brake parts?

I have a '91 N/A so single piston fronts and non-vented rears and they need to be replaced but I don't feel like buying eBay rotors and pads and OEM is too expensive.

Where would be the best place to buy front and rear rotors? I'll most likely buy Hawk pads front and rear.

Also, when I replace the pads and rotors do I need to buy new hardware? This: http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=33-29Z0-FCY1

If you order rotors from the US then by the time you get then you could have bought another Car with the extra money spent in shipping!!
I just can't see why you don't go to Napa and ask for Eurorotor or Brembo blanks.
I can't understand why you want to spend shipping costs on parts you can get In Canada,at a Store..Near you.
.You ever get your Leaky brakes fixed?

I never fixed it because I can't find where it's leaking. I am not kidding, there are no ******* leaks anywhere. All the lines are dry, around the booster and master cylinder(which has been replaced a few weeks ago) are dry, inside the booster is dry. I've taken all four wheels off more than once and just sat there applying the brakes over and over again as if I was bleeding them system without actually bleeding it and NOTHING. My brakes need to be replaced anyway so I'll replace all four rotors and pads and may even pick up some turbo front and rear calipers if I could find a decent deal.

I honestly just forgot about buying local. My girlfriends step-dad is best friends with a parts store who got me my master cylinder for less than eBay's cost. He also gets discounts.

The front drivers caliper seems to be getting stuck. Car pulls to the left, smells like welding at stop lights/stops, that wheel is hot and that brake is putting out a lot of heat and my whole wheel is filled with brake dust and I washed it yesterday. So I think it's safe to say I need to replace my brakes. That also might be where I was losing fluid? Trust me, we have looked over and over and over again.
