Thanks for all your replies guys, much appreciated

I have a 2020 SDV8 and I'd buy genuine LR pads front and rear. Comes to a little over £600.

Front - LR156926
Rear - LR162047

£600 just for the pads? overfinch modified

Yep, not cheap for genuine pads eh?

That’s an absolute joke and a complete & total rip-off, from my inside knowledge of the friction industry of more than thirty years.
There is so much absolute total bullshit around OEM parts as being superior, it’s all just smoke and mirrors, plus a heavy marketing mark-up, believe me. Profit margins in friction materials rival those in the fashion industry, I kid you not.

Just get any good make of aftermarket pads from a trusted supplier, even though these and “Genuine” JLR pads are very probably also sourced in Asia too.

A FFRR is hardly a track-day car either, so performance differences such as fade don’t really matter, but anyway any friction material can vary by as much as +/-10% between batches of even the same material, this is hardly rocket science, still very much “old school” organic/resin compounds rather than sinter-ceramic or carbon. :thumbsup:

That's a surprising price for OEM pads, I had new ones front and rear in Feb 24 at LR dealer for about £270. Only Range Rovers since 1988
