Default Brake kit or just replace pads
I was just wondering what you guys think:

Brake kit from AB

LR3 Brake Kit: Front And Rear Brake Components

or rebuild kit

LR3 Brake Rebuild Kits: Order Land Rover Brake Kits Online

$386.95 vs $349.95

Personally, unless the 'stainless steel' retainer springs were damaged or in bad condition, I'd go for the cheaper kit. I've always found that the retainers clean up well and always reuse them.

Unless the rotors are damaged or you have a shake while braking just go on amazon and buy some ceramic pads, we have rub ac delco and ebc? Both seem fine

You dont need the pad wear harneses unless you break them or lose the retainer clip

My mechanic said it's time for new rotors as well.

Would I be able to use EBC yellow stuff pads on the rotors I have now. I think they're OEM rotors.
