I have Hawk pads, DBA rotors, stoptech SS lines and fluid and did it for half that.
I'd buy the parts and do it yourself. It's really not that hard and you can find some nice brake set up deals out there.
If you're going top end of rotors get DBA.

$400 for Rotors
$150 for Pads
$150 for Brake Lines
+Tax and Labor.
It is definite up that direction.
Ray, you must have gotten a great deal if you were able to do all four corners for less than half a grand. Them DBA rotors are not cheap. I think TireRack lists the DBA4000 for WRX for just the front $270.

that's a bit much if you ask me. Not a rip off or anything just a bit much.

And I only run DBA's up front. I run Centrix in the back.
