From 2011MY> GGDR...

In 2010 you could buy both the 3.6 & the 4.4... The 3.6 in 2009 2010 vintage would have the old style NON Brembo front brakes...

MY10 as identified by the VIN diesel (3.6) had 2-piston sliding calipers as well as the MY10-12 NA 5.0 in those countries where it was sold.
Note that the NA 5.0 produces more power than the 4.4 TDV8 and out-accelerates it too.

Thanks Dave, although I'm hoping not to change them. After trying BFG-KO2 in 275/55R20 which were very noisy and the 2 rears destroyed (cracks) presumably from rocks thrown-up by the front wheels and now Pirelli AT+ in 275/55R20 2 of which have been destroyed albeit in special circumstances, I'm still hoping for a good 255/60R19 to surface before I get sick of the disadvantages of the oversize 275/55R20.

I like the AT+ for the great job they do for me every day including their low noise level. Damages were 1 brand new tyre was pierced at the top of the sidewall by a slither of pipe that had been cut from a fence prop that ended-up in the entrance to my driveway (replaced by Pirelli FOC) and the other destroyed when I hit a partly hidden lump of limestone on a rarely-used Nullabor track at around 40 kph, which also slightly bent the edge of the rim. I wish that Pirelli had persisted with their plan to release it in 255/60R19 LI 113 the same specs as their All Season for the L494/L405/L462. The 255/55R19 AT+ is only LI 110 and its sidewalls shorter so less suitable for outback touring even though some D4 owners are fond of them.

The rears on the MY11/12 4.4 are classed as minimum 18" rims and D4 18" rims indeed fit, having done a test fit myself. My son has fitted D4 18" to my old 3.0 D4 now back with the original larger brakes, albeit with the calipers "polished".

Cheers Graeme for the feedback, And Briangunn the only parts required for the job are the callipers themselves... well the larger discs also and pads

I am going to fit the larger rears when current ones are worn a bit more, i agree the balance aspect is important.. in my mind at least and i think i can feel it been unbalanced so to speak

The pad wear sensor is different, not that 1 sensor for 4 pads is a reliable indicator of worn pads.

I disconnected my wear sensors deliberately when fitting the new brakes, Like you say only one per end of the car which tells you nothing really but above all having to or rely on a sensor to me is plain stupid.. It might be good for a soccer mum situation but if you have any mechanical abilities / mindset then you should be checking over your brakes regularly and know exactly what is going on with them, I every 15 thousand ks or so remove a wheel and service the brakes... blow the dust out and grease the relevant parts with bendix brake grease.. pull the pads and check them over which is very simple work
