Brembo don't make brake pads, if you go to lr you'll get pads in a lr box, made by some of the big manufacturers and branded land rover, I bought a set of ebc pads from e bay, much cheaper than lr and as good as originals if not better.

I bought a set of front pads (Mintex, I think) off ebay for around £80 for the Brembo calipers.
Don't forget, if you're changing them yourself, you almost never get the wear sensor with the pads, so you'll have to buy it separately (c.£12), because you'll never get the old one out without breaking it. When putting a new wear sensor in, you can either;
1. Remove the wheel arch liner, and connect the sensor lead to the proper plug (that's what I did), or;
2. Chop the cable, and re-solder the new sensor onto the old lead.
Hope this helps.
Bob.
