Wabco, the maker of the land R. modulator, has a website; it tells specifically how to bleed whole brake system, including the Wabco modulator, and Falconworks Land Rover repair of Arizona tells that same bleed process must be done, or you end up with air pockets in the modulator, with resulting spongy brakes, etc. I followed exactly what they said to bleed system, and it worked extremely well for me. My brakes are now better than ever, since I bought vehicle. Again, it works for me!

Is this the document?

Not the one I had in mind, and referenced; this site doesn't seem to say anything about bleeding. No, go to site below instead; you will find it most helpful:
Braking Systems & Controls - Meritor WABCO
www.meritorwabco.com/ProductCategory,1,Braking-Systems..
Component replacement section
Section 3, pages 28-30--Brake Bleeding Procedures" within maintenance manuals, MM-39---D version HAB

Your link and directions were a little difficult to follow but I think I found it. If you go to the WABCO site and go to the Literature tab, then Hydraulic ABS, you can then download Technical Bulletin TP-99124 which covers the procedure for bleeding a dry modulator: http://www.meritorwabco.com/MeritorW...nt/tp99124.pdf

I don't care about the wear rate if its faster or anything, I'm just looking for the best brake pads for stopping power and traction control performance. I'm looking into doing a full brake system swap (pads, rotors, and extended SS brake lines). I was also wonder if anyone is running the TerraFirma drilled and slotted rotors, I might go for those, Justin from Lucky8 says he likes them (I saw on another forum post), would like some input :P
Akebono Pads with EBC Slotted and dimpled Sport Rotors. I have the RTE 3inch lift with extended SS brake lines

Yes, I can understand that my directions were difficult to follow; sorry about that. I hardly know how to turn my computer on---LOL.

With due respect to those who have fitted super dooper brake calipers, disc rotors and pads, has anyone yet tested the standard brakes and pads on a brake dyno to see what results they get and actually compared those to the results of their new upgraded rotors and pads. Obviously one must have whatever setup they are using in tip top operating condition and functioning properly with no defects in the system or ABS. I believe many would be shocked at the results for general use of a vehicle and find the stock brakes and equipment is as good if not better as many aftermarket kits. I can only imagine needing upgraded braking systems if heavy continuous braking use was required or for competition purposes. Fortunately, the dyno tells all and probably the best way to save money as well.
