my rear rotors are just about pooched and I'm starting to feel it when braking so it's time for some new ones.
I was thinking of going OEM but why bother if I can spend some more money and get some nice rotors.
Any affordable brake kits? What's the going rate for Coupe Brembos?
Any suggestions? Not really sure on my budget, I'll decide once I see some options I guess.

This is the route I'd like to go.

I've got to keep my rotors small enough to fit under my stock 17's which I run in the winter, so I can't go bigger than 13". If I went to a 14" BBK, I'd go with the Akebono OEM kit. Looks awesome and stock at the same time. I may also just go with the 05+ setup (05X's still have older brakes).

Yea I was looking at some racingbrake stuff. They are a Vendor here so I am sure they could cut me a deal.... Or they better! haha
Yea The Akebono kit is nice as hell, but they are actually somewhat hard to find. I think I am going to go with your suggestions. $1200ish isn't bad at all for all new brakes.

Check the Marketplace. I know there were at least 2 RB setups for sale recently (although I'm pretty sure 1 is sold). I like the Racing Brake option because I can do it in stages. $2000+ is a lot to drop at once for brakes that aren't really going to stop you all that much better than stock. I'm just tired of all the frickin' dust and the quick rotor wearout. My fronts are pretty bad, but I need to get a caliper on them to see just how bad. I'm certain that brakes will be happening for me this fall or winter.
Well from the looks of racingbrakes site you can get the setup above with Hawk pads for $1300 Shipped. I sent them a PM asking for a quote shipped to Canada.
My car goes away for the winter so it's coming out a very happy car with lots of new things to flaunt lol

You know you can get the Akebono kit for $1649, right? That's all brand new OEM parts...
pick up a set of used 05+ calipers... it's a big upgrade over the 03-04 brakes. Then you can get stoptech slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads from riverside infiniti for about $20-30 over oem parts for all 4 corners.

Don't forget, convert everything to Canadian and then UPS shipping...
