Default '03 Touring Z, need brake kit installed by 10/26/06 in San Diego, CA

Long story short, bought a Z 3 years ago. Never modded it in any way. Went to a track event 2 years ago. After just a few laps, the brakes faded and smoked reeeeal good. I haven't been back to such a long track since. So anyways, there is another event in two weeks. I need to know if there is a reputable shop in So Cal (preferably SD county) that will install a brake kit in less than 2 weeks and at a reasonable cost. I realize that installing the kit is < 1 day but I don't know the time it takes to order the parts.... or a decent shop that won't rip me off.

Recommendations on kits/shops/DIY/component lead times?

Contact Chad (protocav). He's in SD and can install for a lot cheaper than a shop and he does excellent work. Tell that Leo that had a black G35 in the past referred. He's a cool guy and did a lot of installs on my car.

Have you looked into upgrading the rotors pads, going to braided steel lines and changing the brake fluid?

I was just considering a Stop Tech or Brembo brake kit. I don't know what all is included. Are you suggesting the above instead of a brake kit or in addition to a brake kit?
