Thread: Discovery 2 brake rotors and pad options

Andrew, do not go drilled rotors.
They will crack eventually.
Slotted are fine.
DBA, Delios are fine. I'll ask re RDA, I've heard mixed reports but a mate is a brake specialist and pretty sure that's what they use.

Good old TRW are a good pad.
And cheap.

Slunnie likes EBC Yellow Stuff and I think Pedro is running them too??

I'm partial to QFM ATM, I really like the custom compound I'm using. Dusty which I don't care about, but damn they stop.

DBA or Delios only..




Check with Slunnie. Last I heard he didn’t like the EBC stuff anymore. I found it total rubbish and got rid of it.

Repco Ceramic Pads are worth a look on a slotted rotor.

The EBC2000 series greenstuff I really loved - These have not been available for years and years and years now. You could really feel them come on and bite hard. The hotter the better.

The EBC6000 and 7000 series in my opinion are rubbish, don't stop and overheat/fade. Especially if you have hills or tow, sidestep these big time.

The EBC Truck Yellow stuff pads I've been finding to be pretty good. Not as good as the EBC2000 Greens, but a pretty good pad and a bit better than the Bendix 4x4 pads. You will have to import these from the UK.

Rotors, I've settled on the Dba slotted rotors. They're a pretty quality rotor in manuacture and materials. Big upgrade even over OE which shows up in the quality of the wear surface, you'll get 2+ pad sets out of the rotors as expected but they wear very evenly and are a stable rotor. The slot design I also really like, not at all over done so they allow clearing but don't kill the surface area for slow work and they dont seem to hold mud.

Running EBC yellow and slotted DBA,,
they really stop hard on that first push----

Thanks very much Rick. Just realised my post was poorly worded. I won't go drilled but haven't had slotted and would try them. Drilled I worry a out getting a rock or similar stuck in them. I didn't know they could crack - another reason not to get them.

Thanks again.

Cheers

I've got a set of Repco (Good price and really easy to order locally) to match up with Delios slotted but haven't had the time to install.
currently using original pads and i'm getting some shudder on light brake application and putting it down to the soft compound and the slots??

I was running the Greenstuff Simon and still have a set on the front. I like them. I have only ever had, apart from original, DBA replacement rotors but never slotted. Keen to give them a run.

Thanks Mike. I will look into ceramic pads.
