    Akebono Disc Pads suit 2013 Discovery 4

    Does anyone know the correct part number for Akebono disc pads to suit 2013 Discovery 4 with SDV6, 8 speed and fitted with 360mm front discs and 350mm rear discs. I keep getting quoted EUR1098 and EUR 1099 by Fleabay suppliers which I don't feel is correct as they list the same for Discovery 3 and early Discovery 4.
    Has anyone else had this problem and knows the correct part numbers.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Not available for the front brakes unless they have been brought out very recently.

    I priced some akebono pads for my early Disco 4 My11, but found them pretty expensive. I found an alternative Ceramic compound pad - Texstar - which have been pretty good. Good bite and the dust is negligible so far. Might be worth a look as they were much easier on the wallet too. Akebono Disc Pads suit 2013  Discovery 4

    Correct, not available rear only. I believe Bremtec might make a front though.
    You're being quoted 2.7l brake sizes. Well I hope you are because those are the part numbers I just ordered for my 2.7 TDV6. . .

    Bremtec don’t have one for the front in the ceramic range, at least not 6 months ago. I have Bremtec on the rear and don’t think they are anything special. Brake dust is the same as factory pads.

    Every review of akebono pads I have read reports increased pedal effort than stock pads but less dust!
    I am happy to have dusty wheels with better brakes all day long....

    Well that's good to see, although I'm not sure if I'll bother when the fronts come due.
