Where to buy Rotora pads & discs?

Curious for others' thoughts. I got a Rotora BBK, 6 piston / 380mm front and 4 piston / 355mm rear.
I can't seem to find their pads or discs for sale anywhere. Where do you guys buy them??

Thanks in advance!

Never found any sellers apart from Rotora direct.

Here are the prices I got for brake pads from them (attached) - didn?t get prices for rotors yet.

The deal I got was far too good on a mint, verified genuine <1,000 miles used set, thus that overcame the availability issue. I haven?t even seen them listed for sale for our cars anywhere. Did you see them on any sites lately?

Do they provide you with the FMSI pad shape? If so, you can just look it up on any major brake pad company's website. Some pad manufacturers can make custom pads for you if you provide the shape ID or even send the old pad in.

Late follow up - they said there is a pad shape that is similar but there have been issues reported by people where the generic pad didn't fit right. I've stuck with Rotora pads and ended up ordering 2 pairs - H2 and H6. My new H2 pads in the front didn't last long, 2 track days and quite worn. (see attachment pics)

Swapped out to H6, surprisingly no squeal at all on the street. Will have to see how they wear.
