I have the stop tech sport kit, back in 2014 or 2015 it was 250.00 from tire rack, pads and rotors. You can’t road course on that kit, well, I won’t. I’m going to change the brakes out soon. I’m probably going with a DBA plain rotor, Hawk HP plus pads, steel braided brake line kit and Motul 600 fluid. Midas Muffler does my work, my Dad used to manage the shop. We know the mechanics there.
The stop tech sport brakes dust a lot and your tires turn brownish color. Get ceramic if you don’t plan on road course or Auto X.

I have had good luck with Baer Eradispeeds, but they are on the expensive side. There are other, less expensive, rotors that provide very good service on the car.

Be careful with the heat to the wheel bearing and ball joints nearby. The brakes can handle it, but they don't exist in a vacuum.
If you have 18" wheels you might look into the z51 bracket and rotor sizes.
