Are you looking for something that "looks good" or are you looking for something that "performs better". If you want better performance then how much, little better than stock? Able to track the car without fade? Is brake dust/noise going to be an issue? What's the ceiling for your budget?
Answer these questions and we can get some solid recommendations for you.

Another option would be to get the stock calipers from an 2005-2006 RWD car. The front calipers are 2-piston vs the single piston in 03-04, and the rotors are 320mm (so only a few mm shy of the brembo brakes).
Can probably find them for cheap from someone why upgraded to Brembo or Akebono calipers. Or pick up some remanufactured units from rockauto and go from there.
