I found another vendor selling them , they want $1,700 per rotor.

I have a slight vibration at 75. I can live with it but would prefer a fix.
Road force balance on my cup 2's did help some.

For what it is worth I feel the PS2's are a major contribution....AND tire shop balancing with 20lb of road force and call it good when it should be at 10 or less....

I've got 18 track days on my rotors, which were almost vibe free before I started tracking it (after GM replaced the rotors and the front tires) and I can tell you, even with my aftermarket wheels with Nittos or stock wheels with R888, it has never come back....(though seems to come and go when I ran the PS2). you'd think if it was a "rotor issue" it would come back especially when you track the car and actually "wear" the rotor but so far so good....
How do your rotors look after 18 track days?? I have less than that and mine are all pocked as the Carbon evaporates out with much heat. I can attribute mine to pretty much to one track day where I put on new pads, didn't burnish them and just went on the track and killed it. Ever since that overheat, the rotors continue to get worse, which is why I have a set sitting here in my office. I have since put LG cooling ducts.

This is becoming a major headache for me, no one I've called in Michigan has even heard of balancing wheel/tire/rotor assemblies or even rotors themselves! So worse case scenario is new rotors but question is do I also need new rear rotors? Seems so wasteful considering my car has only 7,600 miles on it, so after saving for years to buy this car I have to cough up several thousand dollars to fix this?

Only the fronts. the fronts are much bigger and if they are out of balance you will feel it more and feel it through the steering wheel.
Rear balance issues would be more of a vibration through the seat of you pants.

car was finally fixed after opening a case with GM and throwimg a fit, they warrantied both front rotors , wouldnt replace back due to not feeling vibration in steering wheel. took forever and alot of headaches but it was finally resolved. 2 front rotors were definately out of balance.

Glad you have it resolved. GM should step up and take care of these cases immediately because they know very well what the problem is.
