Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

[LB Bill]

I am getting a shuttering when braking and determined that it is not the control arms, they were replaced back in 2022 before I purchased the disco. I am about to order a set of Zimmerman rotors and Ferodo (OE) pads from FCP Euro. Thoughts on the combo?

I have done brakes before on other cars but just don't have the time right now. Will have the local shop (non-LR indy) install them and rotate the wheels while they're off.

Did the exact same combo., using my LR indy for the install. With about 4k on them now, happy in all respects.

If your wheels go black in one day you have the proper pads.

That’s great news. Thanks for the feedback!

They’re already black…. So I’m ok with that

Akebonos euro blend? I am a fan of Akebonos on my Honda but not sure if the regular ones have the bite of OEM Land Rover. They feel wooden. The Euro formulation may change that?
