depends on a lot of things. budget will be the biggest one.

if you dont mind the money, brembo rotors are good choices.
frozen rotors are good too.
i would recommend r1 concepts as their line of rotors is actually really good. cheaper than brembos.

as for the size. go on a site and look up your car, the size should already be there.

Do you have sport brakes up front? If no sport brakes I believe the front is 300mm and the rear is 290mm but I could be wrong cuz it's a 350.

The pads most people go with are the Akebonos. Low dust, low noise.

Bheng mentioned a few rotor copanys that would all work. My experience with the Brembo cross-drilled was that the hub rusted way to fast. I went with the R1's that have the hub painted black.

be careful ordering in r1 concept though... do not rush them! lol.. I think they sent out my rotors with a "NOT" so good condition hub paint... When I installed them and cleaned up everything (sprayed with brake cleaner) the black paint got washed away... lol..

I think I rushed them when ordering... it was all my fault. I ordered on Friday and I was expecting that they will ship it on Monday... but sad to say... they have to "MAKE" one from the blank ones... and it took around 3 days for them to actually ship the rotors...
