Default Stopping Power! Where are the good brakes these days?

Being that DBA Golds for Discovery 2 are basically a thing of the past, where can one find a great rotor and pad set up in the current year 2020???

Brake Motive stuff works well for me on my D2/LR3. It’s made by Power Stop, but sold much cheaper thru Brake Motive on Ebay. Think a full rotor/ceramic pad setup is 165.00 with free shipping.

No way is this for real? The DBA's used be like $400!!! -- How does it compare in quality?

Also, what else might I need to do the job right?
I was looking at this originally

Yep, fixn' to order up their pads all the way 'round on my D2 and turn the rotors. Can't beat their prices.

This is what I just bought and installed and driving on them for a couple of weeks now.
Zero issues, solid pedal feel, good stopping power as expected.
Probably same as or very similar to what the others linked to......

Stop great, no noise, and hardly any dust at all. The LR3 is extremely tough on rotors/pads, and nearly 50k on them so far. Pads are at 45% and the rotors look brand new.
