Brembo OEM rotors have worked great for me (and I beat on them with race pads).
Buy a 35mm front bar, it's worth it. Suspension techniques works well and is "cheap" (inexpensive). Sam Strano sells a custom built 35mm hollow bar (it's signifigantly lighter, and somewhat more expensive) and Hotchkiss sells a hollow 36.5mm front bar, it's more expensive than the first two. I currently run the S/T 35mm solid and love it (I had one of Sam's bars, but had a cross threaded bolt and didnt' put it on the car and it was very light).

The Brembo OEM and the Autozone Duralasts seem to be very good choices. They both hold up to race conditions, neither has a protective coating to prevent rust, but the Brembos cost a lot more. I went with the Duralasts and added some VHT paint to the centers to prevent rust.
On swaybars, last time I checked, the ST 35 solid was $140 shipped from Jegs, the Strano 35 hollow was $200 + shipping and the Hotchkis 36.5 hollow was $250 + shipping. Go big up front, these cars like big bars.

Yea, I don't trust drilled rotors since I cracked some on my car. A waste of money in my opinion.
I don't know about the Baer, maybe they are tougher. A good pad will produce a lot more heat than a factory type pad. So if you are running stock type pads the drilled rotors may be OK, but if you run agressive pads, I would get solid blank rotors as they are a lot tougher.
