Unless you want rotors that are more exotic (drilled and slotted), OEM ones should be fine.

I recommend a ceramic for brake pads. Three of my cars have 'Posi Quiet Brake Pads' without any issues or dusting like the factory pads

If you want factory style rotors there are a lot of aftermarket sources including ebay. I use AutohausAZ for a lot of my oe parts and supplies

or even less if you know the right people

Yup, bites hard like my Dicken's Cider too. All the women loves my Dicken's Cider. Just the other day I made a sudden stop and the woman next to me asked for my Dicken's Cider.
