Found fronts for $42.71 and rears for $46.30 from here. Sound good?
i would, however, suggest you get AP1 pads instead of AP2 pads.
apparently the compound changed and the AP2s are much dustier; lots of AP2 guys run AP1 pads

See my post here https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=770093
Would recommend you the Ferodo DS2500. You don't need to spend the earth but don't skimp on your pads.

Get the OEM's, lesser pads will not last long (if you drive hard) and will be replaced soon possibly with new rotors....
I've been using Hawk streets. Good pad, no warm up but they dust bad!

I've used HPS and they were worse than stock on the street, and infinitely worse than stock at the track! As in, unusable and dangerous after about a lap. The pedal got very soft, I thought it was fluid, bled brakes, no change. It was the pads! Fortunately they were gone after three ~10 minute sessions, so I put the stockers back in and got WAY WAY WAY better braking. And the stockers are not good track pads by a long shot.
Maybe their ceramic street pads are better.
For sure the HP+ are. Very high coefficient (highest I've experienced), even stone cold. And in my track usage, no problems handling the heat whatsoever.

So before I go out and buy AP1 pads for my AP2, the former are exactly the same other than the compound used? Just need to make sure there are no other costs or parts involved, I am just doing it for less dust.

I just installed Hawk HP+ for the fronts...wow. They dust like a mofo, but they stop on a dime.
