I'm not sure that you are correct that the Brembo option gave bigger brakes. I bought an HSE in 2017 and investigated this option and to me it appears to only offer a red caliper branded Brembo. I checked through the specifications at the time and the brake discs were the same size as standard. I appreciate that this doesn't directly help you but it may be that the standard pads are what you want.

I’ve just thrown a full set of discs in scrap as I upgraded mine to these & they were a reasonable price.

Link to purchase please Had drilled and grooved on my old disco 3 for years, they never made any difference to the braking, however No way near as much dust on the wheels. Will be looking for these on my sport when the time comes |

In 2015, when I specced the car, on the front, the bigger red callipers Tyrefitter shows in his pics was an upgrade, think they were bigger diameter, 380mm discs. I have seen newer cars with what look size-wise to be the same, just not painted red. Maybe they standardised on these bigger front brakes after my16. 2016 L494 HSE |

I got the discs from a local indi LR specialist who got them from Britpart,,I also had Hawk ceramic low dust pad on the front which kept the wheels really clean. Andy.

Thanks, all for your responses - spoke with local motor factor who identified the correct disc and pad sizes via their systems. I also had bad corrosion to both rear brake lines (6 years old) thanks Tyrefitter for your 2019 post concerning these. Seems like they are a well known weak point on these cars. Your photos helped me confirm with my motor factor the correct parts needed. Amazing how the main lines that these connect to are like new in comparison. Definitely something for owners to look at from as early as 4 years old. 2016 L494 HSE |

You can get those brake pipes from Advanced factors,,site sponsors on the forum.LR quoted me at the time they noticed mine we’re corroded when it went in for service,,£140 per side plus fitting,I got both sides from AF for around £90 posted for both sides & took me around 40-50 minutes to fit them both.

Hi, Tyrefitter got the brake lines and fitted them today, in the end, not as bad a job as it appeared.
