Best LR4 Brakes for Heavy vehicle + towing.

[bdd123]

Looking at rotors and pads that will work with 18" wheels.

I tow 5k+ lbs and have 18s

I highly recommend Akebono Euro brake pads
Mine are going on 75k miles - absolutely buying again

I have not replaced my rotors yet, but have used Zimmerman zinc-coated on previous vehicles
If you don't want to spend on OEM, at least buy from a known brand/retailer

EBC generally has good stuff. I've modified my setup to run LR3 rotors and the stock LR4 calipers.

Yeah I see EBC on Lucky 8 and roverparts.

Why did you do the mod? And what did it take? What size wheels?

Everything is still pointing me to OEM. KIT IS 699

akebono ceramics have been great for suburban dd, and no dust.

I wanted to run 18" steelies without spacers or the wheels costing a fortune (LR143917). LR3 V8 caliper bracket + LR3 V8 rotors + LR4 calipers all bolt up no problem.

So you could run LR3 wheels too then? Or is the LR4 caliper slightly bigger such that they won't fit?
