Best place to buy/install aftermarket brakes in NJ?

Seems I need new pads and rotors. OEM is a rip off. What are some of the better aftermarket brakes and where can I find them and have them installed in NJ? Price is an option as my wife just had a baby.

if youre looking for good pads get hawk ceramics, I got them from tirerack. $145 for all four brakes delivered (delivered quickly too, we're about 2 hours drive from their warehouse.)

How many miles do you have on the rotors??? The stock rotors are excellent, couple guys got over 60,000 miles on them.

I'm at 80 something thousand miles and the rears are just atarting to squeak. I may have already purchase rotors for the front though at aroune 40,000. I have to look at my paperwork.
