Front brake pad recommendations

My 2012 sport is about due a set of front brake pads and was looking for recommendations on what others use and would recommend
If there is a uprated pad that works well this would be a bonus. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

I would only fit original parts. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I get more dust than I expected, I’ve used there green stuff pads in the past on my D3 with little dust, I don’t know if it’s because I’m in a TDV8 now with brembos which have more stopping power...
Good luck with the EBC discs again had them on the D3, because of the holes and groves they are a lot nosier in operation which didn’t really bother me to much but the discs didn’t last as long as I thought they would. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

You could be right about the brembos on the front,I hardly get any dust on the rears compared to front. Andy.

New Zealand 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Santorini Black

Recently fitted EBC Redstuff pads and genuine discs, still get fair bit of brake dust on the fronts (Brembos) but no where as bad as original pads, but most importantly got rid of that damn annoying brake squeal the S/C suffer from under light braking.

Cheers
Col

I’ve noticed a bit of brake squeal on mine when in slow moving traffic but I never got it with both my other L494’s. Andy.

I’ve got EBC red stuff on OE discs and mine can squeal for a second or 2 on the first brake press but then it’s gone for the rest of the day. It’s worth it for having to clean them as much.

For discs, shop around, I got 2 OE rear discs from a LR dealer for £54 and he paid the shipping! It should have been £6 to ship (which is ridiculously cheap) but then waived it anyway. 2012 5.0 SC AB

So looks like most people running EBC pads of some sort are happy with them.

Now to work out which ones will work best Red, Green, or Yellow, but to make the choice harder I see they now do one called Ulitmax 2. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

I think the ultimax is their economy pad range for general use. There site did have a chart of what range of pad to use for your application. 2012 5.0 SC AB
