Bay Area - source for brake pads and fluid



Hi.  I'm getting ready for track season and was wondering if anyone had
leads on shops in the Bay Area that sell high performance brake pads and
brake fluid?  Specifically, I'm looking for ATE Super Blue brake fluid and
street/track brake pads like the Performance Friction Z-rated, Porterfield
R4S, and Pagid (higher heat rating than stock, less dusty, but still quiet).

FYI, I contacted Porterfield directly (949-548-4470).  Their R4S compound
is a carbon-kevlar street/track pad.  For the 328i, it is $99/set for the
fronts.  They also have an R4 compound (also carbon kevlar, but higher heat
tolerance, friction coefficient, etc.), which is more aggressive and is for
track use only.  

Anyway, please let me know if you can refer me to a local bay area shop
that sells good pads and ATE super blue.

Thanks in advance.
