I run EBC on my 97 Disco and love them... only a few cents cheaper, but you can get them from Atlantic British..

I am sure Nathan at Discountbritishparts.com can get them for around the same price or cheaper as well.

I have a set all around my LR3 they stop alot better then the oem ones and it takes less pedal pressure to get it to stop.

I use EBC pads with OEM rotors. Less dust and less noise.

Just got these installed yesterday. So far they are MUCH quieter and provide far superior brake feel. Highly recommended!

Which version of the pads are people running? Green Stuff 6000 or 7000's

I just ordered the Ferodo replacement set from Atlantic British this week. I inquired with the rep on the phone about the EBC pad set and he said if I'm not changing rotors to go with the Ferodo set instead of EBC. He said that Ferodo has the same performance as the oem. I'm not a brake expert but I took his advice.

I went with 7000's in the front, and 6000's in the rear (they don't make 7000 for the rear afaik).

Bummer, the only reason I did the change was because the old pads were squeaking, these just started to squeak just as loud. Wonder if I need to resurface the rotors...

Ferodo makes the OEM pad.
