Even the brakes on the new GT3 are not adequate on the track. Thats why Porsche recommends the upgraded composite rotors if you are going to track the car. Just shows you that any brake will fade or have problems in the wrong enviroment.
The stock brakes on the C32 are more than adequate for street and occasional track use.

Is there a way to buy the correct directional rotors for both sides to correct MBZ's mistake?
Who makes the rotors? If Brembo makes 'em, they must sell the right ones?

Currently, there are not any rotor upgrades for the AMG brake system. If one were to take the time to have a set of directional rotors made, it would be highly advantageous to make them 2-piece at the same time. Of course, then you are already at half the cost of a Brembo kit + r&d costs, so at that point, it would again be advantageous to purchase a Brembo kit...

Re:
Interesting how previous posts seem to get "lost".
AP does not supply Brabus with its calipers. Alcon does. Their front and rear kit will set you back just about $11,000 with a 6 piston "street version" caliper with dust shields in the front with a 355 x 34 rotor, and a 4 pistion caliper in the back with a 302 x 28 rotor. Replacement front rotors are only $1,800.00 each.
