Brake Pads

Since UMBERTOB taught me how to read an online catalogue properly, I ordered the Porterfield R4-S pads for the LR4. I have them on MY12 RRS and they are fantastic, very low dust but a slight squeal when cold (from the rears).

Try Max brakes, been using them for over 2 years with no issues at all, very minimal brake dust (my wheels stay clean for at least 2 weeks) and absolutely no squeal, Price is also unbelievable. Order on their website and you receive it via UPS in 2 days max. The have both Ceramic and Metallic pads, I always get the ceramic. www.maxbrakes.com

Interesting. I've run R4-S pads on several vehicles but don't ever recall having squeal either hot or cold. I did notice the dust level varied greatly from batch to batch, meaning pads I bought a few years apart (identical part number) sometimes had drastically different dust levels. Great pedal feel and street performance, but NOT cheap.

Side note - I've consistently had problem with squealing on ceramic pads, of various brands, on other cars. Seems to be a fairly common complaint with ceramics, particularly when they are cold (i.e., backing out of your garage / driveway in the AM).

The PO of my LR4 apparently cured this problem by having the stock wheels painted / coated black. I'm OK with that solution, lol...

Oh those Max brakes are cheap. There must be a significant amount of Chineseium in the Iron. Just installed Pagid pads on my LR4 - feels better than the OEM Ferodos they replaced.

Still loving the EBC Yellow pads and drilled rotors. I drive nearly every weekend to the high sierra and back in the winter and they have been tremendous in the long downhills. Smooth and more powerful than stock. No fade.
