Default Looking for some Kevlar brake pads. Suggestions?

Hi all,
So the time has come to replace pads and rotors front and rear on my 01 Disco w/ 113,000. After doing some digging around, it sounds like the DBA rotors are the way to go for me. There have been numerous suggestions to go with DBA rotors with Kevlar pads. I've looked around and haven't really found any kevlar pads anywhere. So, I need your guy's help. What are some good Kevlar pads and where can I get them?

Thanks in advance,
James

I had bought drilled and slotted rotors and kevlar pads for my ex-wifes Mazda mini van a few years ago from www.brakewarehouse.com

The DBA and GreenStuff 7000 pads are a pretty common combo.

Do some reading on EBC and their different pads to decide which to try.
Make sure to replace your rubber brakes hoses and switch to Vavoline's synthetic brake fluid to handle the extra heat.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I'll look at the EBC's and thanks Mike for the advice on the hose and fluid
