Thread: Choosing front brake pads

I'll have to check them out and see if they have some that will fit early L322's. Going to need some pads soon.

Sent from my SM-G900F using AULRO mobile app

Over the 13 plus years of my D3 I have found genuine LR pads to be better than Bendix. I have found ECB Greenstuff to be slightly better and considerably cheaper.

Cheers

Hmmm.... If I was driving a Kenworth, I wouldn't expect it to pull up like an XR6.
My D2 pulls up well when I want it to, that is I don't have any great expectations for it to stop on a two cent piece.

Should people maybe consider changing their driving style to match the vehicle that they are driving be an easier answer.......

Alternatively....
People might have increased the power output of their vehicle through chip, intercooler, turbo upgrades, etc and desire greater stopping performance to match their increased engine performance.
Lets also remember that the better the physical components of the braking system, the better the Traction Control system works
Also, when some of this gear is cheaper than going OEM, why the hell not?

Quite possibly.

But in my case, as I have already said in this thread, I am replacing them because my current rotors have come to the end of their life.

So do I spend $$$$$ on LR/OEM spec parts or $$$ on uprated parts, or $ on cheap copy parts?

It's a tough one, well not really I'll go with the $$$ uprated parts.

Let's not forget when fitting a larger diameter tyre your brakes are having to work harder as well.

But in my case DMs last line hits the nail on the head.
