I went w/ aftermarket rear rotors and have never looked back. If you do got aftermarket, you can get them from excelerate or mr.heeltoe (AZ vendors)

Go with oemacuraparts.com for the oem and tirerack for others.
Just on a side note, I just installed rotors and pads all around. I ordered the Hawk HPS pads, the rear ones needed to have a knob filed down on the pad. I remembered reading about that somewhere on here, but totally forgot until I tried to install them. (I'd post a pic, but I am at work)
Apart from that, I think that any good brake pad will do the trick, just check to see that the rotor is in good shape. I had 90k on mine before replacing the pads and rotors ... the rotors looked great and would have only needed to be turned, but I replaced them anyways.
Oh, and replacing the brake fluid would also be a good idea! ;-)

I got PowerSlots all over + GranSport GS6 Carbon Ceramic pads and I'm very satisfied. This set gives you a lot better stopping power then the stock one. Also change your brake fluid if you didn't in last 2 yrs.

I run kragen rear rotors (china made) and they work fine- only 30% of the braking is from the rears
also have RB front slotted rotors and ET300 pads all around
