hey sorry i've been out of touch.... i wont have time to physically help you, but you don't need it. and if it's on a weekend you can call me if you have any specific questions or problems. I'm 99% sure there is a DIY on the forums, and it's really VERY easy to do. The front pads are easier than the rears, which have an extra step involved. Each wheel/caliper has a SET of two pads, an inner and an outer.

Jack up the front of car, and take off wheel.
Loosen one 14mm bolt, and completely remove the other one (look at the DIY for which ones).
Swing the caliper open, rotating it on the one bolt that is loosened but still attached. Remove the two pads, TRY TO KEEP THE METAL CLIPS IN PLACE. If they fall out it's not a big deal, but if they don't that's better because they can be a little confusing to re-orient and re-insert.
If pads are very worn, you may need to push the piston back into the caliper a bit, so that the new pads fit. This might require the use of a medium-sized C-clamp. If you do this, take the cap off the brake reservoir in the engine bay, which cal alleviate the pressure a bit.
Put the new pads in (the clips serve as springs to keep the pad in place, so look and understand how this works, and then inserting the new pads will be much easier.
Re-assemble.

Read the article/thread on here called brakes FAQ, and read the section about bedding. It's very important if you want to get anywhere near the full potential out of your brakes.

Oh that sux Roxanne, sorry, I don't have any recommendations... I got my car from the Wantagh Mazda (right by Mulcahy's) and they're awesome over there but that's if you want to pay top $...

Any contact info on Function7? I pulled the address and some phone numbers off an RX7 site, but both numbers are no-good. I can't find them in the "phone book" or otherwise.

Thanks for the info, but seeing how hard the place is to contact, and no one has anwered the phone or returned my messages, I'm looking for any suggestions on other reputable shops in the LI area.
