Brakes

Looking at the EBC kit from lucky 8 or the stock kit from AB. Needing for opinions as to what I should purchase. Thanks

I have the EBC brakes on mine and have had no problems in 4,000 plus miles.

Where in Kansas are you?

Thank you for the starting point.

I am on the south side of the metro.

do they make akebono for the lr4? i read the old threads on pads an im massively confused.

Wrt EBC - are the yellows quieter than the greens?

Do not got with the YELLOWS, too hard.
The EBC Green box's are great, matched with the EBC Sport Slotted and Dimpled rotors.
Not sure if they help at all, but does add a better than stock look.

Akebono does not make pads for the LR4 but I wish they did. Last round on the fronts I used Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors (high carbon) with Semi metallic pads. Pads may be a little hard so next time I will go Textar (OEM supplier? ) and some Zimmerman rotors.

If they do that is great news as I have been very pleased with them in the past. However Akebono does not list a pad for the LR4 on their own site. Perhaps double check with Akebono?
