We carry the TSW Rotors at http://www.autoxcooper.com/tsw_suspension.html#tswcr what are you doing for pads?
Have you checked Napa (if you search I'm pretty sure I've even seen the part # posted in the past) or the local Autozone, advance auto, checkers etc etc? They can usually get them in store in a day or two for less than the dealer and are in m experience just as good for street use as the OEM rotors.

yep, it's annoying too, but you already know that.

nope, I did not - notice my reply with alternate info for quality replacement parts. in case you hadn't noticed, there are a multitude of options out there besides you. perhaps being helpful first, selling second is the better tact to take.
Or, if you'd like, explain how what you sell is superior (to the dba's, brembo or buying direct from TSW). I'd love to hear your explanation.

Good call, after tires and wheels I tend to forget how much else they carry!

In the equation of braking ability, the particular pads you use are far more important than the rotors. In terms of rotors, I'd go for whatever is most convenient to acquire. For aftermarket, TSW rotors are supposed to be pretty good. From what I've read most people are usually disappointed with the Brembo replacement rotors.
So you got Hawk pads? Which ones?

+1 You'll find countless threads of any number of cracked rotors (the last I saw was for Willwoods) under intense track conditions, especially if they are of the stock size/width.
