yeah, you'll get killed with the exchange and shipping (rotors are heavy). the best way is to find someone with a world impex account and get them at wholesale.

I ran mintex pads on the track for a couple years and no problem at all. don't use anything branded by napa, however - tried a set of those and got immediately ejected off-piste.

factory specs on rotors are 26 mm front 22 mm rear. you can get cheap plastic $5 calipers at canadian tire or home hardware.

I bought these NPN pads from Autopartsway.ca. Funny that you can't link to them from the main site. Had to go into my order history to find the link.

They work great. Indistiguishable from the OE pads (at least to me). I kept my rotors because they are still thicker than the minimum spec of 26mm and are still straight. I just ground away the lip with an angle grinder.
