depending on what wheels you have i would go for some AP 330's.
another option would be brembo calipers[focusRS/evo/fiat etc] and get some bells and brackets made up.

That'll be me
I had really bad vibration which is why was going to change the discs (but went fitted brembos instead )
It was the offside disc which was warped and it was pretty bad to be honest...( it might be possible to get it skimmed up??) I really don't know. Worth a try though which is why I thought you may want them

Hmmmm Are you getting any vibration at all? I know about the chunks missing out of the back which is what I thought may have caused the vibration.
I've fitted my new brakes and is cured the vibration I was getting

A very cheap effective conversion. I would say that you would be better off getting original discs as some replicas are very prone to warping
