I am running the Delio`s pads and rotors and have done so for 15000 k with many a interstate trip , towing , stop start city trip and off road venture all with out issue or the same fault .

The brake tests you so want are not with in reach of the common man to prove except by seat of the pant`s dyno which in my opinion is very noticeable .

Hi Chris,

How can I get my hands on some Delios pads, at the time I purchased these weren't available so I went with Genuine.
Maybe I should have coughed up for the Akebono pads?? Which I believe are ceramic compound? Is this what the Delios pads are as well??

And yes can't sleep! if you notice the posting time! Stressed over putting an offer in on a house this Monday!

Cheers Craig

The Akebono pads are available from Pedders at a premium i under stand Plenty have sourced them from overseas for cost saving`s , Amazon can be good as i have searched on there.
All that failing the pads i am running were one of the first sets into the country which i hear they are distributing now .
Either contact Delios direct or via a supplier .
Oh good luck on the house front

I really cant understand how the original brakes are insufficient ?

just how fast do you guys drive??

I doubt any D2 known to man will accelerate fast enough to not allow the brakes to recover,,
and the big question is ,, why are you doing this?

Do paint your calipers?

and please dont talk to me about the vic highlands,,,

tow a 2ton van van down the toowoomba range with a 40KPH limit...

I don't mean no offense

But I don't think delio is able to order Chinese rotors to its standards. It has no bargaining power. Delio can only go to the market and choose a product that fits it's standard.

How many rotors can delio sell per year?
There are only 22 million people living in Australia. 25million living in Beijing alone.

Say delio going to place an order from a Chinese rotors company. Based on the order size, delio is only a very small client.RDA is probably bigger...DBA is probably even a slightly more important client? but none will be V.I.P. they probably place the order via an agent. Just like what 4wdsupacenter does

A certain Aussie company sells patrol engine rebuild kit and sometimes this company bashes ebay or Chinese products....The irony is their engine rebuild kit is made in China. Not that he told the Chinese manufacturers how to make this kit. But he simply purchase them at a wholesell price. I know the guy CNC those products.

I am pretty sure that the LR Genuine rotors are Not made in China/Taiwan and I have No intention of putting anything other than Genuine parts onto my D2a when it is time to get them replaced, If the rotors or the pads do stuff up I will simply go back into Wyatts and they will replace them Free of charge (including labour) and without any hassles.

The same reason some people don`t get why you need a 4.6 v8 or as in a Td5 remapping or any other mods for that
The standard brakes are just that and it has nothing to do with how fast one drives and i did not say they were insufficient .
The reason some want better brakes has a lot to do with personal choice yeah !
The reason i went with Delios made it stand out off road in my opinion as i felt the T/C worked so much better , The hill decent felt better all this is my opinion you work it out for your self .
Also my brakes do not fade as quickly as the standard brakes did with frequent heavy use towing or not.
So if you drive your 4.6 v8 like a Granny down the toowoomba range towing a 2 ton van and you are happy with your standard brakes that is fine
Want a discussing on towing as i have done that range many a time in a semi over the years

You are in no position or authority to say such rubbish
I suggest you contact Delio`s and find out the truth for your self as you are way off the mark.

Do Delio have their own QA person in China?
