Good place to find rotors and possible recommendations?

Before Ferodo DS2500 expectations get too high ...
They have two advantages,
1. The coefficient of friction of the DS2500 is probably 30-35% higher than the OEM pads, and the result is that pedal effort is 30-35% less for the same brake effort at the tire/road interface. This translates into what feels like significantly better (stiffer) pedal feel with 30-35% less mush.
2. It's nearly impossible to get the DS2500 to fade on the street, and even on the track, it'll take a bit of work and hard driving.
As we've all noted, the only trade-off is some squealing under light braking.
