On a specialized vehicle like the Range Rover, I definitely wouldn't skimp and use aftermarket parts. Just my opinion

Unless you are doing a major upgrade like Brembo's all the way around I would stay with OEM parts especially for brakes.

OEM is great dont get me wrong but aftermarket can be just fine too. I would feel comfortable buying an aftermarket kit from someone like Atlantic British. I would not just run into Autozone and buy the cheap rotors from China. Good luck!

Seems like rotors are covered well already . For pads though I would personally recommend using EBC GreenStuff but there are also many other pads that are as good, if not better, then the OEM ones (which tend to squeal more then they should).

Regards

aftermarket only.. make sure you get some ceramic pads.. quieter and much less brake dust.. federo rotors are fine.. dont have to be drilled or slotted just regular is fine.. ebc greenstuff are good too.. but spend the extra few bucks and get the ceramic.. We wouldnt want to hear u braking before we see u
