I looked around a little, and OG Racing is the best I found. That was not a thorough search, and it was a while ago, so if anyone has a better price, I, too would like to hear.

I just checked an invoice from late last year...$115.39 from OG Racing. I can't locate the invoice from a set I ordered this year, so I don't know if prices have changed...
Incidentally, I have been very pleased with the service from OG.

Out of curiosity guys, what other pads have you used prior to the PFC's? I went straight from a brand called EBC (UK) to the PFC 01's and 97's and found them to be unbelievably better! Pretty much twice as good I would say in terms of braking distances and resistance to fade.

I don't have a great depth of experience with pads...I used KFP's for a while, not bad, rotor friendly, but I think the PF's perform much better. My car doesn't see a lot of street use.

I did a search several years ago among a dozen retailers for better pricing. Couldn't beat OG. Most of the retailers I spoke to said the price I quoted (OG's price) was lower than their cost. Found out that OG buys P-car specific pads in bulk from PFC to get better pricing.
Not sure if the regular turbo pads have gone up, but I just bought a set of front pads for my TurboS and the price was ~$30 more than last year.
I work a few miles from OG's store so visit there on occasion. I have yet to have poor service on any occasion.

I tried Hawk HP+, Mintex C-tech, and a Pagid pad that came on the car. I scorched a Mintex pad, actually burned it somehow. The Hawks I tried got too hot at the end of the session, as did the Pagids. It wasn't a true comparison for me though, I added extra ducting to the front brakes just before switching to the PFCs. But cold or hot, these stop much better in my opinion.
