So far so good. About 1000 miles since I put them on. Quiet..great pedal and so far no brake dust like I had before.

I just bought PowerSlot rotors and Hawk LTS pads from autoanything.com for the front. I've run the PowerSlot/Hawk combo on other vehicles (including an LX470 that's heavier and harder on brakes than the Disco) and have always been enormously pleased. Awaiting the shipment, can't wait to get them on the truck!

If you want to check out autoanything.com, they always have free shipping and you can use coupon code LOYALTY for 15% off your total cart. Basically, I got premium high-performance pads and rotors for under $250, shipped!

DBA rotors ate a set of factory pads up with 8000 miles, switched to Kevlar pads which I replaced after over 80,000 miles and they were still good, I am now running Akebono pads.
Basicly, if you run good pads they will hold up well on slotted and drilled rotors, by the way, my DBA rotors have around 110,000 and still within specs.
