I gotta recommend the EBC ceramic pads, if you see my earlier post. Since then I have put on about 40k miles that is way better than the 26k miles I was getting from OEM.

Do you still recommend the EBC ceramic brake pads? Which ones did you get, Greenstuff series? How much did you buy them for; the prices I've seen online are about $100. You also bought the EBC rotors... I just want to make sure before I buy anything again. Do these brake pads have good stopping power and are they still lasting you longer than the stock? Lastly, do they make any noise?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make a smart buy! Thanks

I changed my front brakes the first time (pads and rotors- i waited too long) at around 30,000 miles about 2 years ago; ordered the parts from my local Land Rover dealer (so i kept them the same as stock). Pretty expensive I might add. When I first got my car the brakes never made any type of (often times) high pitched screeching sound, which I associate to when the brakes are bad. Soon after I had changed my brakes, they started to and continue to do this noise. The brake light on the dash has not come on at all this time, but I don't want to wait too long and let it get to the same point it did last time. I am hoping just to change the brake pads this time. I currently am about to reach 57,000 miles and feel it is time to change the brakes again as my mechanic told me that they were getting worn already and had only a few months of use left.
Also, I was looking at different brands and was wondering if anyone has tried brembo rotors (smooth finish- similar to OEM)? Do you guys think they are worth it, or should I stay with the land rover OEM rotors I have now, if they are still good enough to hopefully just be resurfaced?
