    RDA and Bendix 4wd pads so far v good..little bit dusty but not too bad. Do not buy pads from Repco tho as they are 2x+ the Sparesbox price.🤤

    I'm in the hunt again. Tried ordering TRW DTEC locally, learnt the hard way.
    The last TRW I put on were standard and dusty with an occasional low speed squeak. Bite isn't great.
    Which Pedders ceremic did you get? I see they do plain ceremic, Kevlar ceremic in track Ryder and sports euro? Any low speed noise at all.
    I have RDA rotors on mine, great life. The DBA were equally as good

    Pedders kevlar ceramic pads and their recommended discs, they are solid not slotted as I really don't go far off-road in mine. It is a d4 so my choices are a bit more limited, I was after Akebono, but at the time they weren't available for the front.

    I've got the RDA Slotted & Dimpled rotors and the Akebono pads on my Range Rover Sport for nearly a year now. Excellent combination - much better than the OEM. The Akebono's are excellent. Since I have had them on, there is virtually no brake dust on the rims and the stopping power is excellent - really confidence inspiring. I'm really pleased with them.

    I picked up the rotors at Sparesbox for a good price and had the Akebono's shipped from the U.S for half the price of what Pedders was selling them.

    Looking on the Advanced factors website, you could lash out and get the brembo 6 pot calipers and 380mm discs....youll only need 20 inch wheels as well.

    I just ordered a set of akebono from the states. For those thinking about Bosch euroline pads, the same shop. Rockauto is selling them on special for $25 aud fronts and $30 for rears. I added a set to my order while I was at it.

    JC are they the Bosch pads you recommend?

    Thanks for suggesting this store- it has good prices. I'm looking at getting new front brake pads for my D4. Did you get the Akebono EUR1479 front brake pads? Any issues?
