I've just bought a Disco4 and the brake discs are well worn. As I've read on the forum and in general that the disco 3/4 eats brake pads and discs because of its weight, I was wondering if it is better to replace them with ventilated/grooved discs like TerraFirma's with matching performance or even ceramic brake pads?

I imagine perhaps both better stopping power and also longer lasting? Your experiences with this brand or other brands? Thank you!

If you go on the Disco 3/4 forum you will find genuine discs and something like greenstuff pads are the way to go.
Some D4 seem to suffer badly from brake discs warping.
I think you will find they are all vented fronts and possibly rears to.
Some D4s have alloy rear callipers

Ive ran greenstuff on my D3 and they were excellent, next tried some of them red ceramic things, dog poo feel wooden and yes they stop but do not inspire confidence.

my indie specialist recommended to stay with the original lr discs indeed, turns out those special discs (perforated, grooved) are not authorized in belgium and will be rejected in the annual technical control; so i'll have the 4 discs replaced by land rover original, including pads; even though not bought through lr dealer but indie specialist, i got a quote of 750 euro excl 21% vat and excl mounting

Op de keuring je remmen moet altijd origineel of exact kopie, tis echt belachelijk
