Do you know the size of the rotors that the Stillen kit uses? I think it could be 362x34 ?
I think they are oddball because it's a Stillen adaptation that doesn't use Essex or AP rotors from the catalog.
I believe Reyland made these rotors as they look to have 12 mounting lugs and the same cut outs and are available in custom-ish width and sizes including 32 34 and 36mm.
Any suggestions as to what's a good street to trackday pad for these brakes?
Thanks!

The Stillen CP-5555 front kit used an AP rotor that was 368x36, and if I recall correctly had 72 internal vanes. As of a couple years ago, that rotor was generally available off the shelf from AP in England. And supposedly, if it's not sitting on the shelf, it can still be fabricated by AP. Again, that info was valid a couple years ago. Not sure if the situation is still the same today.
The rear was the funky rotor. The rear caliper is a CP-6600/AP7150. Stillen spec’d out a 355x26mm rotor from an Australian rotor company called DBA. I did a bunch of homework on this topic a few years ago, and it is no longer available by any normal means in the USA. I called DBA in Australia and they were rude and unhelpful. The person who answered the phone was transferring me to someone and forgot to put me on hold, and yelled "I got some guy on the phone for you....He's a nobody!" Thanks for that.....
Perhaps gyrodisc or someone else could step in to duplicate it. Sadly, Stillen really cheaped out in the rear kit. They spec'd an impossible to get rotor and a shitty heavy steal hat. The Essex 9449 rear setup with the aluminum hat and smaller rotor is 25 pounds lighter than the Stillen rear kit setup. I have them both. I weighed them. In this post, on my build thread, I talk about weighing the two rear kits:
