get new rotors and pads and do it yourself. It can easily be done with hand tools and there are diy's all over this forum for it. Don't be like me and remember to bleed your system.

if you have some extra money now would be a good time to do the 300zx brakes conversion, since you are buying pads and rotors anyways, you can just buy 300zx parts instead of pads and rotors for the 240...theres a lot of info on the 300zx brake conversion on this forum

change pads but have your rotors resurfaced. If the rotors are warped a lot you might be better off getting a new pair, and changing both is easy with a jack and a regular socket set.
