I'm looking to buy some aftermarket rotors. Anyone know where to find good ones? Maybe some Brembo ones?

Take it or leave it, but my advice still stands. Do not buy x drilled rotors for street cars (forget the likes of Porsche as the holes are put in at the time of casting and use a higher quality material).
Also, thermal cooling is not always better on x drilled either as there is physically less surface area due to the holes. I do realise that there are many people out there who have x drilled, but at the same time I have seen the results of a vicious heat cycle on these types of rotors and the resulting cracks. And how many people physically inspect their rotors for damage? Save your dosh and buy OEM rotors and then use the $ saved to buy some decent pads.
