Default LR3 Brake Upgrade?

Hello to all here!
Ok, Here is the first newbie post, New to the site here...
I just got a 2008 LR3 for a great price and great shape.
I am doing things to it here and there, mostly cosmetically, since Engine and other parts are in awesome shape.. (so far..)

I got my hands on a friend’s 2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Front and rear Brakes [Calipers Only]. I was told that while they will fit, I will need to get bigger Rotors for the front. Has anyone tried to fit this to the LR3?
Is this something that can be done?
Thanks for any replies and advise that you can share!

I have heard of doing the swap to LR4 calipers and rotors but not RRS. Doesn't mean it won't work.

With SC rotors it should work fine as the NAS Sport version uses same calipers and rotors as the LR3

Thank you very much.
I did some more research and looks like I need the SDB000624 rotors for the 2006-2009 4.2L Supercharged.
Looks like it works on the LR4 as well, but as you mentioned the LR3 seems to have the same rears and just needs the larger rotor. I will try it and report back. I am on the process of powder coating them.

You're powder coating rotors? That seems a bit foolish as they need to be able to be a gripping surface for the pads. The rotors are those big round things that the pads clamp to when they activated by the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the lines by pressing on the brake pedal. Right?

Sorry.. I meant to I am powder coating the Caliper set, since they were on a RRS previously and I will like a fresh look.
Rotors are new from Brembo.
Thanks for the comment tho!! Hav a great Sunday!

I think that coating the caliper set is a great idea as they do get rusty and yours will have a much better look. What color?

You will probably need new caliper carriers to allow for the larger rotor diameter, i know these are required when swapping to V8 rotors.
