Ran reds on my old vRS, my Disco 3, and just bought a set to fit to the 6 pots on the D3

Great pads, huge reduction in dust, work well enough from cold, and never had them fade

In fact, the rear brakes give off more dust than a reds on the front

I've just installed my second set of Jurid pads and I'm very happy with them - especially after CTC revealed that it is factory fit.

I can't find Jurid pads for the L405 nino... Where did you buy them?

Even better news is that they are available for £122 including delivery and a set of Delphi rear pads.

Unfortunately BB, theyre not available from GSF for the L405 (TRW caliper version). GSF also told me they won't be selling Jurid anymore, they're now selling another premium make

Dan @ Duckworth has quoted me £128 for a front pair of LR pads which is good. Just thinking about trying ceramic...

‘Brembo’ pads being sold as such again by ECP and seemingly compatible with TRW calipers. The displayed price is before the 53% discount methinks. Not inclined to put ‘Brembo’ on the L405. Tried them on the 4.2SC and they emmitted brake squeal.

I bought some Brembo boxed pads and swapped them out for originals after a week they were crap - I have always just used genuine as cant see the point in trying to save a few quid on a pretty important item but thats just me

Unfortunately it’s a story I hear over and over again... 🤨

I've been in the same situation and tried to save money on pads even buying so called genuine brembo pads ...on craigs advice i now buy genuine or OE parts...

……….. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Mooouwa?

Some great info there Gremlin, thank you. I use ceramic/carbon fibre composite pads. The braking performance is amazing (even from cold) and they keep my wheels nice and clean compared to semi-metallic pads.

If my discs wear quicker as a result, it doesn't bother me and I'll just replace as necessary.

Again. Thanks for the info, some interesting reading  Kev

@knwatkins Which brake pads do you use?

TIA

Aaaaarrrrgh! Why do respectable vendors, such as Advanced Factors, sell Brembo branded discs and pads if they are deemed, in the opinion of some learned members, to be of an inferior quality? I had a full set of Brembo branded discs and pads several years ago and having done 30,000 miles + with them, have had no issues. Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984
