Upgrade of front brakes.

Philip0603 · Aug 3, 2013

Thinking about the possibility of uprgrading the front brakes as and when the discs & pads need changing, they are ok at the moment, but..........

Has anyone used the crossdrilled & grooved non ventilated items available? Any suggestions about differing pads. I don't do too much off roading, but do use the disco for towing duties, mostly my twin axle caravan and occasional trailer work.

Any thoughts anyone?:5bdriving:

I've offroaded, towed horseboxes(full and empty) and done most stuff. I've never felt the need to uprate. BUT I'd be interested if you do it........

Try ebc green stuff pads or I think yellow stuff are the heavy duty ones. I used green ones on my last car and they were awesome. If you jumped on the anchors on a car park you'd nearly knock your teeth out!

I've used the drilled/grooved discs and EBC Green pads. There's a noticable improvement over standard and not too expensive either.

Thanks Rob, will probably change for the drilled ones if the folding allows. I am assuming they are compatible with ABS.
