DIY, the labor is really what they are charging you for. Pads and rotors are easy to change out, just make sure you use the right brake fluid and bleed the lines in the right order. Also, check your rotor thickness; you should be able to just get them resurfaced rather than replacing them.

I'd call around and get a few more quotes.. The tires plus around me is kinda shady.. I don't know if yours is or not tho. Are you gonna upgrade your rotors and pads or stick with the OEMs?

Edit: why do you need new brakes already?? How long have you had your coupe? I've had mine for over a year and a half and have no problems with my brakes. Also IIRC there may have been a recall a while back for something about the brakes.
