    I'd love to buy Greenstuff brake pads for my Tacoma but I'm finding it nearly impossible to find a local retailer. I'd order out of the states but the things are difficult to get shipping on. Anyone have ideas other than shipping to the US border?

    How far are you from Great Falls? Maybe just do a run to Great Falls given that the limit for 24 hours is fairly high?

    My plan B is to run to Great Falls in November since I'm going there for business at that time anyways. I called down though and the pads are special order, which complicates things a little more. I was hoping someone knew of a place on this side I could find them. They seem to provide a quick fix for more braking power in the Tacoma without a major component swap.

    Their website shows 6 shops in Calgary that can get EBC brakes in.

    Or is it that the ebc dealers here don't sell the greenstuff pads? I haven't looked into it that far.

    Sadly those dealers in calgary do not carry any EBC parts for cars or trucks. They only sell pedal bike brakes.

    Summit racing looks good but after shipping the price of the pads will be almost double that of the pick up price in the USA. Napa couldn't give me a price since they could find them in there system. Thanks everyone for the replies, I've decided to be patient and pick them up when I head down to Montana for a week this November.

    My small town aftermarket dealer, who I visited months ago, came through. One of his suppliers has access to the pads in the us and send the pads up with another order. After taxes he's only only going to ding me 130 for 7000 series pads. I'm very excited and somewhat surprised he kept on this order.
