"As far as the rotors are concerned, they are available from [vendor name omitted.] I've never ordered from them, but I plan to!"
Until you've ordered successfully from any vendor, you don't know whether the parts are really AVAILABLE or not! This doesn't mean that the vendor is dishonest -- just that some parts are now hard to come by and only available intermittently. I mention this only because several times I've had the experience of planning to do something on my SAAB based on a website saying the part is available, in stock, etc., placing the order, taking the car apart to get ready for the installation... and then being told that the part I ordered is "no longer available" or "on backorder."
My first call now is usually West of Sweden SAAB (see classified on this site) -- you can call or email and talk directly to the owner/purchasing manager/chief mechanic and he will TELL you immediately whether or not he has Part X in stock, and if not, when he will be getting more. For performance stuff I get in touch with Motor Sport Services of Jamestown, NY, where (if you call at a good time) you can talk on the phone to the owner/head machinist/national-championship-winning Sonett racer. If you need a part they offer, they almost always HAVE it because they MAKE it!
Just some words to a new Sonett owner from a "used" one...
