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.

Have to agree with that. I alternate between blue and gold on the track car to make it easy to tell when I'm completely flushed.

I have to assume you are responding to me and trying to be clever, but your English isn't really good enough for me to tell for sure.

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.

I don't think you get this whole Internet thing and how it works.
