Carbotech is what most I know are running, with great results. (For Brake Pads)
A couple have used different brand rotors... not sure which, I'm sure they'll chime in soon though.

I want to say someone purchased a set of rotors from 'www.rockauto.com' not sure of the brand.
It may be in that other link that was posted... can't remember... but from what I remember they seemed to say the aftermarket rotors were fine.
Only thing is they are 'no longer' left and right for the hole vents... they are the same direction.
Peace,
Dave

I have Prodrive brake pads (winmax) which I got from a local Prodrive Japan dealer. Prodrive has 3 compounds available for both front and rear calipers if the IS F.

I suggest checking your rotor spec and NOT replacing them if they are still in spec (I assume you haven't already changed your pads once, so you should only be around 20k miles...likely you have 1-1.2mm of spec wear left.
I did a simple pad swap and bedding procedure and they are quiet, low dust, and fee great. Couldn't be happier.

The price on the OEM rotors has jumped considerably in the last couple of months. I bought mine for $197 each before the price increase. The same vendor now lists them at $321 each. I'm getting mine cryo treated right now.
Rock Auto sells Raybestos discs. They are functional equivalents, but I do not know if they tolerate road course abuse as well as the Brembo discs do. Either will be fine for street and drag racing.

The OEM's are exactly the same way..
One part number for the Fronts and One part number for the Rears

Full two piece floating rotors front and rear...front rotors are 15.2 in and rear is 13.6.
