Default Where to buy rear brake pads?

I'm looking to buy rear pads for my Forenza, however I can only find front pads. Dont want to go to the dealer, because I will be overcharged. Anyone know where I can find them?
I tried brakewarehouse.com & autopartswarehouse.com, however they only carry the front pads. Not looking for performance pads, just something equal or a little better than the oem pads.

Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto has the pads..not a wide choice but raybestos ceramic rear pads, or monroe pads, which have a 20 dollar mail in rebate going on now.

I was hoping I could find something a little bit better than Raybestos or Duralast. I'm going to purchase Centric pads for the front, only wish I could find them for the rear.
Found some SP performance pads at topbrakes.com for $47.66. Not sure if I want to spend more for the rear pads, front Centric pads go for $25.62 .

Heres a brake pad test done on police crusiers, may help you decide. But further searching shows there aint a whole lot out there.

BrakePlanet - Search Results

searching the part numbers show those numbers to be sp prouct parts number

Believe me I dont plan on skimping on brakes, otherwise I would just go to Midas & throw on their cheap pads. I have Centric pads on my WRX with Brembo rotors & they work just fine. I'd like to find something comparable to them for the rear.
I'll probably end up buying the SP Street Plus brake pads, which cost almost double the Centrics.
