Front pads

Ok mot advisory that the front pads may require replacing. Having a 4.2 sc brembo pad replacements are approx £120.00.
Any other pads worth considering ? Or should i stick with whats previously been fitted. Appreciate that you dont want to compromise on safety with regards brakes,but wonder what others have used and how they compare. £120 for a set of brake front pads seams steep ,am i just paying for the brand when a simular quality product is out there.The part number is sfp500070.
All opinions and advice appreciated. Full fat 4.2 Sc

Not sure about an alternative as only use genuine on mine but think of it in terms of costing less than 1p per mile.

And remember there's only a very small number of critical bits mainly the rubber in contact with the road and the brakes that allow you to stop a 2.5T hunk of metal quickly and safely.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Baltic Blue

I had mine changed 2 weeks ago, using genuine LR pads, but my front wheels are full of black brake dust after every journey.
I wish they could come up with a way of reducing the problem. They must be a very soft compound. G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

Dust - tell me about it! I get a terrible coat of brake dust within two days of a wash...

Is there such thing as a low dust pad?

Scotland 2010 Range Rover HSE TDV8 Zambezi Silver

I was in the same situation and although genuine pads would have been my preferance, £120 is steep. So I went with Delphi pads and I cant fault it tbh. (It had PAGID pads on previously). I did use the genuine pad wear sensor as I got them from fleBay for £7.

Pins nicely cleaned and Ceratec grease applied. Discs painted with VHT matt silver paint and it looks a dream.

Next task is to replace rear pads and discs (weather permitting) Current:
- L560 Velar HSE R-Dynamic D180
- Peugeot 508 2011 - 2.2 HDi GT

Past:
- FFRR V 2010 - 3.6 TDV8
- Citroen C4 1.6i Petrol
- Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DID
- Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi
- Nissan Primera 1.8 SVE
- Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC

Get yourself on the demon tweeks website. The brembo are a standard size I use the same size pad in my race car. I wish they just cost 120 gbp..... the ebc are always a good all round pad.
