Brakes
So, I ordered brake pads but it turns out I have to replace the rotors, too. I probably should've known as much.
Finding pads was easy enough (went with Brembo ceramics) but I'm having trouble finding rotors. Lots of cheap garbage on eBay... And I can only seem to find the Brembo GT conversion kit, which as much as I'd love to do, is just silly expensive. Can anyone here recommend a different website to source rotors? I may just order from ECS Tuning but I thought I'd throw this question on here, anyway. Thanks!

Rock auto has lots. Amazon sells some good brands pretty cheap along with the crappy. V check the prices on rock auto first to get a benchmark.

Centrix from Rockauto.com
Front CENTRIC 12534050 Rear CENTRIC 12534061 All under $60 USD each INFO: High Carbon Alloy Centric 125 Series High Carbon Brake Rotors contain an advanced metallurgy that greatly reduces the possibility of pad squeal especially with higher friction, European style brake pad compounds. Proprietary Molybdenum and Chromium alloys resist rotor cracking during high performance use or repeat stop situations. This alloy also increases the friction couple improving brake performance and stopping power. Increased Chromium and Carbon content is also more resistant to oxidation. Power Alloy -Superior resistance to cracking due to thermal stress -Increased molybdenum content that extends reliability, service life and helps reduce NVH “noise” issues Double disc ground Mill balanced Black E-Coating on non-friction surfaces enhances open wheel appearance Symmetric split core castings for Increased strength and stability Image below: (IGNORE THE COPPER BASED ANTI-SEIZE ON THE HUB AREA)

It is my pad of choice (Z17/Z16 same pad but w/the Z17 packaging you get the anti rattle/anti noise metal springs) , but the OP has Brembo ceramics already purchased so I did not see any question on what pads to use. My experience with the Brembo pads is zero.
