Moss's 'stock' rotors are Brembo, so there's a good brand for a very
attractive price.  My understanding is that things like cross-drilled rotors
aren't needed for street touring use, and unless you've got interesting
aftermarket wheels fitted, you won't be able to show them off anyway...  ;-)

You may want to search through the archives, as I asked about brake pads a
month or two ago.  A number of recommendations came through.  I'm going to
try out the EBC Green Stuff pads.  They're not overly expensive, are
apparently a high quality pad for street use, and produce very little dust.
(Moss carries them now.)
