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

Beware x drilled rotors. They were originally designed for race cars to reduce unsprung weight. Due to the holes, they are prone to cracking, especially if the holes are drilled after the casting has been done - often the case for most aftermarket applications.
Slotted rotors are a thow back to days when asbestos was used in pads. Due to a build of of gases as a result of the pad resins heating up. The grooves allowed the gas to 'escape' as it would usually create a 'barrier' between pad and rotor which lead to brake fade. Grooved rotors do work well, but do tend to acellerate pad wear.
