'Tis that point in the life of my '03 Disco to replace the rotors and pads.

I'm not a mad offroader, but I do live in West Virginia where even the paved roads can be windy and steep. So, good brakes are a must.

Which kit of rotors and pads (x4) would you folks recommend?

Ferodo @ $409 (special - ends next month) http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9542F.cfm

No name @ $299 http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9542.cfm

EBC on sale @ $495 http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9542EBC.cfm

Anything I need to know about any of these kits?

Thanks.

 

I have heard good things as well about the ProLine stuff from Rovers North

Front ProLine - $129.00
Rear ProLine - $119.00

Front Genuine - $289.00
Rear Genuine - $274.00

 

Thanks for the link.

Is there any advantage to a slot drilled rotors? I've read that they can trap mud and such.

 

I'd definately go with the EBC kit.

 

How many miles on your truck, are you sure you need rotors?

 

The EBC kit LRDISCO recomended is on sale for $480 at www.britishatlantic.com Dimpled and sloted, looks like a nice set and a good deal.

 

go for drilled over dimpled it dissapates more heat and doesnt fill with crud

 

It has 49.5K and came from the midwest, so I anticipate they were flat highway miles.

Anyway, I've haven't used a caliper or anything, but the "lip" is fairly pronounced on all 4 rotors. I also have some brake squeal after the brakes have warmed up.

There's no mention in the records about either pad or rotor replacement.
