Go to a local autoparts store. I got rears not long ago and they were like $73, and good remanufactured quality.

Yeah, just go to your local Autozone, Napa, Checker, etc and pick one up.

get a loaded caliper (i think that what's everyone is talking about)...they cost like $60 and come with everything (pads and hardware)...all you have to do is bolt them on and bleed the brakes and you are done

Sometimes they will, but most of the time I have found that they are pretty close to what the rest of the local auto parts stores are. It is at least worth the time to call them and find out. Plus, generally the people working there know 100x's more than the 15 yr old kids at Autozone.
