Thumbs up newbie help with brakes

I have an 05 350zr, with axis 7 mod 20" wheels, standard brakes (non brembo).

I notice that my brakes don't make my car stop on a dime when I upgraded my wheels.

I want to get new brakes... do the stop tech or brembo work with my setup? meaning will it fit? I don't really want to get a spacer for the brakes to fit.

Any suggestions? Where can I buy them? Cost?

Where can I get them installed (I live in the SF Bay area).

wut

StopTech brakes are good...so are Brembo. You can upgrade your pads (rotors optional) for better stopping power as the cheapest and easiest route. Or if you're willing to spend the money, you can get a Big Brake kit. All your brake upgrades should fit your current set up, unless you Axis wheels are thinner than the OEM ones, if that is the case you will more than likely have to purchase wheel spacers so your wheels can clear the calipers.
