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

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 |

‘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 |

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.

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:
