    For a setup requiring 18" wheels for clearance, what wheel setup are you thinking? I previously removed the factory 18" in favour of steel 16" but the range of off road tyres for 18" wheels has significantly increased in the past years.

    Much, much cheaper than the genuine big brake upgrade, too

    What I'd like to do ideally is 345-350mm factory rotors with adapted Brembo fixed calipers at least on the front and uprated brake booster.

    My thinking at this stage is the brakes need to be improved in both power and in capacity. Something along the lines of:

    Front:
    L322 dia344x30 rotors + Audi Q5 4pot Brembo type fixed calipers OE18"rims

    Rear Not sure yet, but possibly:
    L322 dia354x20 with L322 single pot sliding calipers if it will suit OE18" rims, or
    P38a dia297x25 ventilated with matching twin pot sliding calipers.

    I think these will work with rim inner clearances, but would need to actually check. Caliper adaptor plates I havent checked.

    Still trying to work out the brake booster differences between early and late type.
    Cheers

    I was not aware that there was a genuine Land Rover big brake upgrade available for the Defenders.

    I would assume that the difference cannot be significant as the later part numbers are listed as superseding parts interchangeable with the earlier.


    When I played with old Falcons previously, Race Brakes Sydney <
    https://www.racebrakessydney.com.au > used to do some custom setups (modified uprights and custom calliper mounting brackets) to be able to instal larger big brake setups such as from Brembo and AP Racing.

    Deefer big brake upgrade

    TMD Defender Specialists on Instagram: “Genuine Land Rover Classic Works Edition Brake Kits. Now in stock. Kits include: 4 up rated calipers, 4 discs, 2 sets of pads. As fitted…”

    It is off the Works Edition, those hand built refurbed ones the factory released after production finished.
    The price is eye watering for what are just big Alcon 4 pots with big rotors.

    That looks excellent, although I wonder why they didnt go to 350mm as nobody runs 17's on a Disco2. I wonder if they will do a rear setup also? I wonder what that caliper is?

    im guess that will allow to fit 16 inch wheels? not sure though. Very few run 17 inch wheels ( i think only available if you use BMW wheels) but many run 16 inch wheels.

    LOF normally produce very high quality products and reasonable prices. I have one of their clutches on my td5inside tuned d2 and till now it was well capable of taking some abuse
