I have EBC's Green stuff kevlar pads on the front of my TR8 - with 
stock TR8 disks. [And Ted Schumachers kevlar lined rear brake shoes 
in the rear axle.] And they all work just great. Good feel, great 
braking ability. 

The front brakes squeal ever so slightly if applied _very_ lightly 
but I'm sure I will be able to address that when the car is back on 
the road - in the future...
