Question Where in SoCal to get front brakes

So I've been calling around for price quotes for my 2004 g35C w/ Brembos and was wondering where you guys get your brakes changed. I called R&J/ Garage 3 and CarZone. I was looking into either the Hawk HPS/ Ceramics or something else. Anyone know of a good place to go? I live in the OC but don't mind driving a little ways for good prices. Thanks!

Just buy the brakes cheap online and take them to a shop and have them install. Or better yet, you can do it yourself or pay someone to do it on the cheap.

Installing brake pads isn't rocket science.

^ yeah that's true, but having the right tools is easier since the brembos looked a little different than normal brake caliphers. and i guess its the ease of mind for me since brakes are used to stop me. i don't wanna mess anything up and not be able to stop when i really needed it :P but yeah, got it done at TC Auto Repair and got my front tires flipped there too! Henry was a chill guy! +1 to them! thnx alot for all your inputs guys!
