I got these: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9542EBC.cfm
As far as improved performance goes, I notice a difference. Of course, it's not like I measured stopping distances or anything, but they certainly seem to slow the beast quicker.
I'm really curious to see what kind of longevity I get out of the pads...

Those are the same ones I am planning on getting in a month or two... maybe you can use a measuring caliper and measure the thickness of the pads to track their wear.
Please keep this thread updated on performance, brake dust, noise, and wear.

I will post updates as I have them.
I cleaned the rims really good after putting the wheels back on to see the difference in brake dust. The OEM front pads created a boat load of dust, so I'm curious to see how much less these throw.
As far as noise goes...I'm hoping for very little! I took DiscoMike's advice and sprayed the heck out of the pad backing with sound deadening spray (you can see the red coating in the picture.)
More to come...

I'm running EBC pads on stock rotors and very happy with them after about 5000 miles. Zero brake dust to this point and no slight noise when the brakes get really hot. I think by the end of trail season it will be time for new rotors since every trail around here involves up and down at least one mountain.
As soon as I finish my spring cleaning in the garage I have to do some Rover maintenance and I'll take a look at my pads to see what kind of wear I have so you'll have an idea what to expect. Of course since you have the god rotors I'm guessing your pads will last longer.
