P38 Diesel Brake Options

Ruthlessgk · Jun 25, 2014

Hey Up Peepz,

I am looking at replacing brake discs and pads but would like your advice.
Are these any good?

P38 Terrafirma CDG Brake Discs & Pads (Full Set) 95 - 02 - p38spares.co.uk - EAS & Landrover Solutions

Now Personally i dont like drilled discs as they tend to crack if cheaply made but terrafirma i didnt think were a bad company.
Is there any 'Upgrades' such as bigger discs or better quality discs and pads.
Any advice please,

Cheerz in Advance,

Zaff

Ridiculous money no need for drilled and slotted discs unless you like to pose at McDonalds on Saturday nights. Look at Island 4x4 for more realistic prices on OEM discs and pads. You don't need upgrades on P38 brakes they are sensationally good as standard. If yours are not get it into a garage.

Cheerz pal. Not posing just as RR is a heavy beast i thought i could upgrade the stopping power. Obviously I will replace the fluid as well but just in regards to the disc and pads i will have a look.
Also never really like EBC or Mintex pads etc.

Also which Disc and pads from Island 4x4?

Delphi/Jurid or TWR?

and

Delphi Discs?

Also how many Litres of Brake Fluid does a P38 need?
As i said I dont have access to RAVE At present.

Delphi discs are OEM, nothing wrong with Mintex or Delphi EBC are supposed to be ok but don't know first hand.. A couple of litres should be more than enough.

I put mintex discs and pads on mine.

No problems at all really nice brake feel and worked really well under load.

Mintex are an old name and have been good for a long time. All pads suffered when asbestos was banned from them. Some adapted better than others.

EBC Green stuff pads are good but not worth the extra cost on the P38 IMO.
