Most people use DBA743's. These have to be machined down in diameter as well, plus they have to be redrilled to suit a 4x100 stud pattern. Otherwise some people just get some custom made.
Be careful who you go to for your machining, the guy that did mine stuffed them, so I ended up selling my calipers.

Rotors are about $200 each, I think, can't remember the last quote. Machining should be around $50-70. I'm not sure about redrilling. You'll also need pads if you don't already have any.
The problem is finding someone to do it for you, I asked about 7 different brake places, all of which told me that they don't do that. Finally found a guy and he stuffed them. Find an engineering place, they'll be your best bet as brake places don't seem to want to touch them.
I've pmed you about the price.

DBA743SL was $197ea according to this reciept.
Redrilling and machining was done at a machine workshop/engineering shop. No brake shop would do it.
