I bought 1/2-inch rotors from Moss on sale years ago (maybe a decade). 
They were Brembo (at least, the boxes they came in said 'Brembo'). No 
issues. You might call their sales dept. and ask what they carry. Pads I 
sourced locally; they were 'Spectrum' brand, supposedly made by Ferodo. 
Moss 'Classic Gold' parts are hit-or-miss; if I needed pads I'd probably 
go with EBC 'Greenstuff,' but they're expensive.

If I was in the market, I might go for an EBC kit:
