170$ is not a bad price at all. I don't know what kind of pads are sold on AG though, so I'd wanna research that a little first.

FWIW, I paid 150 for my DA, backing plate and 1 pad.

it says the pads are "lake country" so that seems like a good deal to me

That's not too bad of a price considering you're getting pads too.

6.5" pads are too big for the PC. 5.5" is a lot more effective.

Read the sticky, I believe it discusses products as well.
