Question Installing aftermarket brakes - shop recommendation for Seattle

Guys, I'm buying a set of aftermarket brakes r1concepts.com - can you recommend a shop in Seattle or surrounding area to get it installed, for a reasonable amount of money?

[UPDATE: i'm buying rotors and pads, for all four corners]

Thanks!
-Alex

What does that involve? Just rotors and pads? Or does it also have calipers and ss lines?

You don't do that kind of work yourself? If its just replacing factory parts with crossdrilled or whatever then I would just do it myself. Brakes are easy

I can't - I don't have the equipment or the skills, unfortunately.

alright. I haven't really taken apart a 350Z suspension, but the older Z's I have worked on only required a way to jack up the wheel and get it off. Then a basic socket set and wrench set did the whole job.

oh, and a place to do the work. If you live in an apartment or condo doing your own work is sometimes not possible.

Zahntech Automotive in Redmond does a great job...and he's really fair.

Works on all sorts of high end cars, as well as beaters. So he won't jack ya.
