Default Brake job other than dealership?

I need rear brakes for my 01 IS 300. I got the front done last year at the dealership last year, but am feeling more frugal this year. (Imagine that.) Is there a national outfit that IS users particularly trust for this?

Brakes are one of the easiest things to do yourself, i am sure you can also find the info needed to do so.
