Has anyone replaced pads, rotors, and sensors on LR4? Difficulty? I have about 47k miles. Don’t need yet but been towing a RV and will be doing more this summer. Wondering how hard it is and so I actually need to replace rotors/sensors same time as pads? Someone suggested it but I have replaced pads on several cars without doing rotors.

Constantly. These things et brakes. Use quality rotors (OEM, Zimmermann, Centric). Easy to do, just pricey

It’s a normal brake job and not any different than a Toyota Prius. The parts however could be expensive...i used the same kit from lucky8 above posted by Michael. Also those sensors are a pain in the ass to change so i just cut them and joined the wires together and taped them off...not like they do a good job at telling you when your brakes are low anyways.

I've done two sets on ours. It's a 2015 LUX. Still running original rotors and sensors. Heard the sensors replacement is sucks up front, so I've always beat them to the punch.

The brake job sans sensors/rotors took me under an hour both times. Easy

Just replaced mine with EBC rotors and pads...and the sensor. Pretty damn easy. My suggestion is to make sure you have a breaker bar, a slim 17mm wrench (needs to be slim) and something to push the caliper pistons down. I bought a 5 dollar compression tool at advanced auto. Also take a look at all the hardware first (screws/bolts ) to see if anything needs replaced. I watched the video from powerfulUK first just to make sure I was doing it right. I love the brakes and rotors. So far so good.

Is it odd that I went through my front brakes in 15k miles? Should I double check if I can reuse my front rotors?

I swear sometimes mine is a lemon.
