What all needs to be purchased to do this job correctly… pads, rotors, pad sensors, retainer kits, brake cleaner, anti-squeal glue, brake grease?
I was going to order from Suncoast, but obviously not if I buy outside of OEM. Where is the best place to order from?

OEM pads are generally Textar, Mintex, Brembo or Pagid
The rotors need to be replaced when the outer lip is 1 mm or more (that means 2 mm of wear or more)
They should not be resurfaced because they will lose more cooling mass.
If your brake light is off right now you most likely will be able to reuse the sensors.
All you need are the pads and or rotors.
Everything else can be reused.
As stated on other posts, you have a high performance car. Buy high performance brake parts for it. OEM are the best all around.
