Dont need anything fancy then. Any rotor in a plain face for normal daily duties. Slotted for bling.

GSL Rally Sport should be able to get you a decent price.

The brake caliper is designed for the current size you have. It would be like buying 20" rims and trying to use 18" tyres on them.

Bigger rotors = bigger calipers = Brembo's.

Or you could just get same sized rotors with better pads and some new brake fluid and save yourself $1500 but get pretty similar braking ability. Go for Brembos if you want but you don't seem like the person who actually wants them.
