Where to buy quality rotors/break pads??? (store-not online)

hey guys....unfortunately its time for new rotors and pads....infiniti of ardmore wants 600 for just replacing the rear rotors and pads. (non-brembo)
i've been looking online (and after a lot of help from adam aka marcheano) and can replace all 4 rotors with quality cross drilled/slotted rotors and hawk or project nu pads for around 400....so i'd obviously like to do that, get all new, and better for cheaper.....
but---shipping with these rotors (irotors.com--supposed to be pretty good) wont come in until next monday (9 days from now) and i'm in pretty deperate need of these things because i'm metal on metal...
i've tried all the local pep-boys, autozones, napas....****ty places like that and nobody has anything.
does anyone know of a local place (philly and burbs) that might have decent rotors and pads in stock???? i'm going to need to change and get both at the same time.

thanks guys
PS: who wants to help me install them???

Sucks dude. I had to have my front passenger side rotor resurfaced because one of the brake pads was defective from the factory. Carved a nice groove into the rotor. I did 4 rotors/pads/bleed on an E36 BMW a few months ago and it wasn't bad at all. It took around 2-3 hours. I have the G35 service manual in PDF form if you need it.
