Can contact Z1 on pricing for OEM and aftermarket parts and see the cost difference.
Courtesy Parts is good and of course the awesome Lou Fusz parts store will help you greatly if need.

Check out RT tuning. They offer really nice ProJect Mu pads and rotors.

I would try something aftermarket, majority of the time you will find a product better than OEM and for a much better price.
