Brake pads and rotors

Anyone know a good site online where a good set of pads and rotors can be purchased for a 95 240sx?

did you check the FS forum? jdmsoarer sells brembo rotors and PBR pads. I've had the pads up front for about 7 months now. No signs of wearing thin yet. Best pads money can buy. Endless and Project Mu pads are garbage. You're just buying the right to sport their sticker.

PBR front pads - $40 "The Best"
Endless or Project Mu - $75 - $100 "The Name Brand Pile of Gomi"

what kind of driving do you do to go through pads in 3 months? do you properly service your brakes when you replace your pads? have you rebuilt or replaced your calipers with new units recently? have you looked at the other componants in your braking system before you decided the short pad life is due to inferior pad material?

Low brake fluid + pressing harder than usual on the brake pedal = brake service every 3 months? I don't know...

your rotors could be warped, maybe on the next service have them Resurfaced. it also could be your Brake fluid is Contaminated.
