Need to get a set of pads etc for the Westie and thought i'd try these based on recommendations but they aren't listed on either the Advanced or ECP websites! They don't seem to have greenstuff on the EBC site for full fat's either.

Rob, As mentioned, I bought fronts and rears from two different sellers: Front - Advanced Factors; and Rear, described as "EBC Greenstuff Rear Brake Pads Land Rover Range Rover L405 3.0 TD 258HP 2012 on". Bought from Larkspeed Limited... their eBay shop name is larkspeedperformancecentre Address: 6, Back Austhorpe Road Crossgates LS15 8NW Leeds West Yorkshire UK Phone: 01132|643231 Email: sales@larkspeed.com Both AF and Larkspeed were helpful and accurate when helping with selection of the correct pads ![]() |

I bought my front Reds through Ebay, but our suppliers only list Yellow and Greens, so has Greens in the back |

I run Red stuff on the front and Yellow stuff on the rear of my L405 4.4SDV8 (Brembo brakes), brake dust is minimal with both, and braking performance is fabulous. I have been using EBC for 10 years on all road applications from High performance Audi to the range rovers, and I have never had any issues with them at all.

I've had Greenstuff pads all round for 9 months on OEM discs and found them to be better for both performance and dust. When you read the blurb they blame the dust on the metal from the discs which is increased by having the asbestos replaced by metal fragments in the pads. The two together create the dust and not the pad itself. EBC use soft metals like alloys to reduce the wear to the discs which in turn reduces the dust. My wheels were black within a week on OEM but stay cleanish for weeks with the EBC replacements. They stay even cleaner when I don't use it!

Car was serviced yesterday and the Tech advised that the rear pads are still going strong whereas the fronts are getting near to the wear indicator. That’s 3.5 years out of a set of genuine front LR discs and EBC pads. So I’m ordering the same again, EBC greenstuff 6000 have been excellent 👍 |

Struggling to get EBC greenstuff pads again without a long wait so have been offered a pack that comprises EBC front discs (TRW calliper compatible) and EBC yellowstuff pads. The greenstuff pads have been excellent and reviews on this forum seem to also rate the yellowstuff pads. So £300 all in and delivered for the EBC front discs and yellowstuff pads seems like a good deal to me?

There does seem to be a shortage of the greenstuff front pads for the L405 TDv6. None of the places I’ve checked currently have them in stock and waiting time indicates April 2022. My experience of these pads over 3 years is they are excellent and well worth the wait for those who can.

Just ordered another set of front EBC greenstuff pads for the TDv6. They were hard to come by for our model L405 on this occasion. Historically ordered them from AF but they don’t sell them now. Paid £87 to AF for them a few years ago.
