So, anyhow, I inquired at the local parts store on the price for a set of Hawk HPS pads for the Maxima, and was quoted CAD120$ for a set of front pads. I was wondering if that seems outrageously expensive, or about right, and if it seems expensive, is there a better place for me to source them from online?

Ahh, thanks for that. It looks like the cost would end up being ~20$CAD difference, after shipping and currency conversion, but that difference might be eaten up in duty charges... Hrmm... Oh well, something to think about, I guess.

sometimes you might save a little, but in order to really save anything, a lot of the places require you to buy stuff in bulk . will you be able to make use out of a pallet of Brake shoes? personally, I don't like the whole idea of "cutting out the middleman" because basically you'll be cutting more american jobs. a lot of these middlemen are just trying to survive...
