Hi all, had two front tyres fitted this morning and noticed it’s probably time to change the front pads. It doesn’t look like I have the Bremno callipers but I think it might have Brembo pads ! I have sliding callipers and the outer pad has a small metal cylinder integrated into the pad at the top ( see photo )

The cylinders are damping weights to change the frequency of any squeal / vibration during braking. Paul,

Thanks Paul, looks like I have non brembo callipers with brembo pads fitted, checked out the advantages of the weight dampening and seems to make a difference. |

From what I gather it can limit vibration and noise, most people agree with you in that they don’t ever really notice any difference about from price of course |

At work we normally see the ones with the weight on them fitted to Discoverys 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone

I did notice that a lot of pads on the market for Discovery’s had the dampening weight on them, I’ve ordered a set of standard Textar pads and pretty sure they will do the job. Watched a video on line and the cars callipers looked identical to mine and the pads he fitted had the same part numbers on like the ones I’ve ordered. |
