this is the biggest "Brake Pad" player in the market


https://tmdfriction.com/aftermarket/

they make the pads for Textar, Mintex, DON, Pagid, Cobreq and Nisshinbo

NB the above are brand names all from the same stable !

I understand that for the late brembo caliper cars, the oe pad was made by ferodo. So I’d get those.

Personally I think the EBC pads are not great, I’ve had bad experiences with green stuff, red stuff and yellow stuff over the years on different cars. Better at marketing than anything else imo.

IMO, go oe manufacturer on normal/road cars. For true performance cars ( I don’t include any Range Rover in that, not even my 5.0 s//c car) get a proper performance pad, carbon lorraine, Pagid rs etc

Tbh the OE on different years varies, as said I’ve bought LR OE pads for the 4.4 ‘12 and they were Jurid, but in the same vein the rears on my ‘16 are stamped LR and TRW. IMHO I’ve not had many “bad” sets of pads I’m running a set of Pagid pads on my D4 at the mo and they are fine. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have put Pagid pads on my 2011, and they are fine, but in honesty, at the speed I drive these days, I could have probably made a set out of the cardboard box they came in., the 6 pot pads are so big.

I replaced my pads a couple of weeks ago with Ferodo both front and back. They were and still are totally silent. Naturally give it a good clean and I apply copper grease on non disc contact surfaces...

It's best to use brake grease that is designed for alloy calipers, copperslip can cause galvanic or electrolytic (can never remember which, or maybe both!!) corrosion and damage the calipers...  Pete

Nah....Old school is best. Once my big jar of Texaco copper grease is finished I'll take a look again as to what is there now in the market. Its been fine for me, my father and my late grand father...Besides what electrical contact is there between the metals?

OEM seriously (otherwise, you'll forever be wishing you'd just bit the bullet, gone OEM and forgotten about it)

As an fyi I was cheap and fitted twr pads to my 6 pot brembos and they do squeel rather often.. it could also be related to the aftermarket rotor I'm not sure. Anyway I just live with it... I find it's only a major problem when trying to stalk people 😂

There is no particular reason why TRW pads have to squeal. I would refit them and use some nice copper grease on the metal to metal parts. My cheap ferodo ones are perfect, upon second fit 😂

I can't work it out. I've had them out a couple times.. blown dust out greased all the right parts with bendix ceramic brake grease which made it worse for a while after I re did it last time would you believe.. all fitment parts and springs are brand new

I think it's because I drive very easy and they don't get a hard time.. They seem to shut up a bit after a hard stop but no matter what I do always start squeeling again which is at low rpm

I thought trw were oem manufactures for land Rover... Perhaps im wrong in this case reading this thread

TRW manufacture brake calipers and other brake system components, but worked with / bought brake pads from the brake pad specialists like Ferodo, Jurid, Pagid etc. TRW would supply the assembly of caliper and pads direct to Land Rover. Paul,

Copper grease is for use on steel calipers, there is an aluminium grease for use on the Brembos, the wrong grease is one reason the pins corrode in.

Bluegreygreen, it sounds like you are glazing your pads, if you have performance items on your car you have to use them as intended now and again, a few decent brake applications should sort it out...

The noise I had was not squeaking, it was just a hot brake noise, but excessive, some brakes just do it, hence my original question.... the pads were worn and the discs damaged by heat which was difficult to spot between the spokes of the wheels it had on...




You can see a pad impression on one, this is where you keep your feet on the brakes after stopping from a decent speed and heating the brakes, it causes a hot spot on the disc and deposits resin from the pad onto a local area of the disc, do this too often and the discs will suffer. You shouldn't sit with your foot on the brakes when they are hot, use the handbrake..

New discs and pads, the correct pad bedding in procedure to cure the resins in the pads and they are quiet again...  Pete
