Need new brake rotors-front & rear

After 20K miles and 28 track days my 2007 Vantage needs new rotors. Overall I have been very pleased with the wear that I was able to get out of the original rotors--far more than I expected--given the abuse I dished out on the track, etc.
I have searched the forum looking for alternative sources for rotors, (besides the dealership and their high costs,) and could not find any reference. Does anyone have an source for purchasing new rotors that will fit. I am not interested in doing a major brake upgrade or changing out the calipers. Thanks for your help.

Aston Bits usually has good deals. I've also gotten good prices on OEM parts from HWM in the UK if you call directly.

Did you have any luck with this? I didn't call direct but using the online prices quoted I couldn't really find any mega deals and ended up getting mine done by the main dealer here in the US.

Get the two piece Brembo above from Supreme Power, they are a massive upgrade in stopping power when used in conjunction with a high quality brake pad (like Carbotech ).

The weight reduction is also huge for unsprung rotating mass and will definitely change handling, braking, acceleration and ride quality.

It's worth the difference in price over OEM, trust me

I'm in the same boat at 18k miles, but only.my rears need to be replaced. Odd, huh?

Presume I can't just put these bremhos on the rear, can I?

Also, what are the price of oem rotors anyway?

Let me know if you need help and I can get you a decent price on the Brembo or OEM rotors.

Thanks!

Great! I don't track the car, so was just thinking oem rotors with some better reduced dust pads. Plus, not exactly sure how much longer I'll keep it. Recommendation?

In the meantime, please PM me with oem rotor pricing. Thanks!!
