    Brake pad brand feed back?

    Although we sell all sorts of brands, you never really get much feed back on them as people have their preferences, and sometimes it's on price also, so I'm putting it out there what is the better pad for these beasts.
    Genuine
    Brembo
    TRW-Lucas
    Delphi-Lockheed
    Ferrodo

    I have a hot spot on mine ( which was there when I purchased it, but it is becoming annoying) so I am replacing the rotors and pads.
    I was leaning towards genuine pads , but am open to experiences
    Cheers, Mario

    Always used Ferrodo pads on the L322. They always worked well and weren't expensive so I never bothered with anything else.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I went straight to Brembo original lr pads after i was disappointed with the Textar euro ones i fitted when i did the supercharged l322 4spot brembo and 360mm disc conversion. Night and day.
    So Ferodo, Brembo and TRW all seem to be genuine throughout the lr range.

    Any of them I'd be happy to recommend from personal experience.

    In the D2's the TRW ones had a reputation for squealing and that was also my experience. I'm assuming this isn't the case with the RR?

    Just another point too Mario, i get a bit annoyed with these owners of higher end high performance landies like tdv8 and supercharged sport, sdv6 and tge like who want to skimp on brake $. I was so surprised the difference in braking between a pretty good middle of the road brand pad (textar, as mentioned) and the genuines. Sure they are a 100 cheaper however for goodness sake the vehicle is a 60k performance vehicle that weighs 2.6t!!!

    Your right, unfortunately everything is price driven these days.

    I heard that the Rangies are pretty hard on brakes so was putting it out there from peoples personal experiences on what brake pads they were happy with.
    It's only the fronts I am replacing as there is shudder, the pads are not worn, I haven't pulled them off to see what brand they are yet. With the fishing season starting I don't want shudder and the extra weight of a boat and trailer on the back.
    Cheers, Mario
    I am getting slotted rotors.
