I have Brembo street brakes in all my vehicles besides the Land Rover. They suck.
I have had Brembo race brakes on my race vehicles and they are the best brakes, hands down. I also raced on EBC, Nissin, and Tokico. They're good but the Brembo is better. There is no relationship to Brembo racing brakes and Brembo street brakes other than the logo. The logo sells.
The problem with DOT 5 is water in the line. It's not hygroscopic, so the water accumulates separately from the fluid and creates pockets of steam. It's better to go with a Motul 600 or ATE Super Blue brake fluid.

Then again, you seem to think that you need things that are only useful on the track on a 4x4, and appear to think that you will be able to dump enough heat into your brakes where any of this matters. Unless you are driving around riding the brakes or have a hung caliper, you will not be.
It's fine that you want this stuff just for the looks. Plenty of people tart up their Discos. But don't kid yourself thinking it will make a positive noticeable performance difference.

Do you want to waste any more time NOT ASWERING my post?
Once again you do not seem to understand I did not ask for your OPINION.
I asked for the name of a possible parts supplier, but as usual you just take the post and aimed it in the direction you think it should go.
I really don’t need someone that can cut & paste the Rave to me so; maybe you can just skip over my posts for now on.
Is that english a little easier to understand.

now that you have completed highjacking my post
1.I do not remember asking anyones opinion of what they thought of drill & slotted rotors?
2. I did not ask how they worked on anyones track car, as Im sure it is not at 2.5 ton 4x4 truck.
3. mud is not a concern as my urban assualt vehicle rarey sees off road, so far.
4 what it does see is a 350 mile commute thru some very windy roads at a good speed, which warps solid rotors quite quickly, and as you say this brick does not like to stop.
5. say "Brembo's street products are lame, sometimes no better than OEM" you sir have never drive anything with a Brembo braking system.
6.The advise on stainless line would be great if I hadden been running them on every bike I own for the last 25-years.
7. DM disc brakes of Australia are probably the best I've seen, but dont fit the budget right now.
So if anyone has anymore spots i can look for pricing great i would love to hear about them.
If you would like to have a debate of drilled vs slotted vs vent please that it over to larry and daryl and his other brother daryl post.
For those who accually answered my question thank-you for the leads.
