It is prob a Fastbrakes Wilwood kit. Any other markings on the caliper? Maybe ask the orig owner?

That looks like its barely clamping onto the rotors. I'd go larger rotors and restore the calipers. Start out on a new slate. Good set up. Just maintain it.

if im correct those are 4 piston calipers which are to be used which 12.6 rotors, go onto fastbrakes.com and ask a customer rep by giving them a description of the entire setup, best way to investigate

Holy crap that's one neglected setup. rust belt anybody?

That's an old school- probably 10+ years old- Billet Superlite caliper.
It uses the Superlite pads designed for use with cotter pin from what it looks like.

Best thing to do for a surefire confirmation is to pull the wheel off, CLEAN THAT ISH, and then send a pic to Wilwood's customer service dept and ask for input.

They are the long discontinued Billet Superlites as Matt said. I had this 12.2" BBK kit (was one of the original 10 group buyers of the FastBrake kit).

Wilwood pads (Polymatrix E?) are cheap and so are the 12.2" Coleman rotors:

YOU need to verify the rotors as your picture does not show a rotor with hat from what I can see... I even switched my set up to work with 13" Coleman rotors at one point (needed to fab brackets, though).

If you need new rotors, Coleman Machine (Coleman Racing) is where I buy mine for all of my kits, but you can also get them from Wilwood for about the same price.
pull a rotor off and measure the thickness, diameter, and bolt hole spacing on them.

Also pull one pad out of the caliper and post a pic so we can be sure the pad shape is correct.

Coleman doesn't sell pads, but you can get wilwood and Hawk parts from Summit Racing or direct from Wilwood.

I personally prefer Hawk HPS to the Wilwood E pads, but they both work fine for a street car.
