Brembo brakes

My car has brembo brakes on it, however I'm not sure if these were on car from new. It needs new pads can anyone reccomend the best place to purchase brembo pads and do I have to use brembo pads for it or can I use other types of pads?

Thanks 2018 SVR

I don't know if you CAN use non-Brembo pads with Brembo calipers but IMO you shouldn't. No point in having Brembo brakes but using pads that aren't upto the mark.

Try site sponsor duckworthparts. I recently got genuine rear (non-Brembo) pads from Dan at Duckworths at a good price. Turned up the next day and free delivery too Thumbs Up eBay is another option, especially if you want to go non-OEM but I have seen genuine Brembo front pads there too. Can also try nextdaybrakes.com. EBC, Mintex and Ferodo are some brand names with good reputation on the forum in general. What I got in the Land Rover box were pads stamped Ferodo.

You might also need new pad wear sensors as apparently they become brittle with use and often snap when removing.

Thanks for the reply I will have a look at the site sponsor, I have also been looking on eBay and found a few brembo pads, what's the part number I will need?

Thanks 2018 SVR

I just fitted ferodo pads to the front of mine in brembo calipers. I could get them at the local motor factors, about £55. If they didn't fit it was much easier to exchange them. Thankfully they did fit and seem to be as good as (if not better) than the brembo. I still have the box somewhere if you want a part number. With regards the sensor there are two or three different types depending on the chassis number of your range rover so make sure and check first. It is a relatively easy job to do yourself.

Thanks for the advice mate, if you could get the part number for me that would be really helpful, are there different kinds of sensors for the brembo set up compared to the standard set up? 2018 SVR

Nice find mate Thumbs Up Do you know how much they are direct from the dealer? £85 seems a bit steep for someone re selling them. 2018 SVR

£112.80 is a lot less than I was expecting from landrover however I may go down the ferodo route like bigphil. 2018 SVR

Dan (Duckworth) quoted me a forum price of 87.64 + VAT for front Brembo pads so even cheaper. I checked and mine had a good few thousand miles left on them so didn't buy. However, Ferodo should be fine especially as they seem to supply to Land Rover as well.

Will PM you regarding front sensor.

Ferodo front pads are FDB1996. The brake sensor I got from dan @ duckworths didn't have enough length on it at the tip to route correctly. It was slightly different from the one I took off. A little digging on e bay and I found two different brembo sensors depending on chassis no. Have a look on there and you will see the different sensors with part numbers.

Good luck
