Eh, its a 90% chance they aren't in stock. I gotta go pick up some parts I ordered for the R and the TL this week though and they get my parts in usually in a day or two. I'm probably the most loyal customer they have.

For my R - Hawk HPS's. I love them once I heat em up a bit. Dust is alot worst then OE pads. I HATED them on my painted ITR wheels(white) but thats when I DD'd it.

For the DD (also 5-lug'd) - OEM Pads. Dust is minimal and cleans up easy. Couple heatcycles and I can tell the difference from the R's pad.

The difference between the braking power is a BIG jump from the Si to the R. Then again, the R has abs, SS lines, better fluid and suppousedly a bigger brake booster than the SI.
Also the R has powerslot rotors(buying some brembo blanks next)
