Brakes are something that a novice car enthusiast should be able to perform on their own... you will probably save big $$$ if you take a shot... I haven't sourced out costs of brake materials for our cars but I know it widely depends on wether you want OEM type package or upgraded pads/rotors/lines/fluids.
At 40k with the sport package you shouldn't need rotors IMO..
Just off of Z1's site, front and rear pads wil run you a little over $100 for OEM pads. You'll add another $400 for sport rotors (front and rear). Figure another $15-30 for brake fluid if you used ATE Blue and that brings you to approx $125-150ish for pads/fluid and $550 for complete swap (if all done yourself). Only other consideration would be stainless lines which are somewhere around $100.
If you had someone do it for you I would bet that you would expect to pay $300-350ish for pads/fluid and $750ish for rotors as well... that is just an estimate though.
