Disc brake upgrade

[htr]

Looking at what is available on Rimmers can anyone comment of the choices of replacement brake rotors? Serviceability/wear issues, noise...?

I see that there is a special on Rossini, could there be a reason for that?

I bought Terafirma drilled & grieved discs last year and have EBC ultimate pads fitted.

A bit noisier, but it seems to stop quicker.

I have EBC heavy duty pads, and will be getting some Mtec grooved and dimpled disc's soon. Had them on other Cars, and really liked them.

The best upgrade on an early Freelander is to fit the later vented discs and calipers.

That sounds interesting. Could I have some more information? Year, Vinn numbers on...

Yes the V6 discs. They are vented so the caliper is wider to accommodate the discs. The wheels need spacing out a few mil too or the spokes hit the calipers. Or get some V6 wheels.

What size spacers would you recommend?

I think some folks have got away with 5mm spacers.
