Dear all
I will be running soon on 36 inch tires on Disco I A/T I am planning to upgrade my braking pads. I heard that EBC brakes are on of the best brake available in the market.
The Green Stuff series know as 6000 SERIES - 4x4 HEAVY DUTY COMPOUND
7000 SERIES - HEAVY DUTY LOW DUST 4x4 seems to be recommended for 4x4s.
The Land Rover Disco application is DP 6814 front DP 6663 Rear
Did anyone tried such application or has an idea about EBC brakes?

Disco Brakepads upgrade EBC brakes

There is a big variation in the pads that you need to be aware of.
The 6000's are rubbish and I highly recommend that you don't get them, especially if you live or drive in hilly areas. They fade quite badly despite the heat range marketed on them. They are marketed as a Greenstuff pad, but they're not - they're a recoloured black pad and recoloured for marketing reasons.
The 2000's are absolutely sensational and this is the true Greenstuff pad. They have excellent stopping power and the hotter you get them the harder they stop and the more they love it. Cold performance is still very good, though if the ambient is cold sometimes you can feel them come on. I can highly recommend this pad. I'm not sure if these are still being brought in for 4WD's though.
No experience with the 7000 pad at all.

This is exactly the impression I had riding mountainbikes fitted with EBC green pads. The braking power wasn't there and they faded very easily.Slunnie wrote: The 6000's are rubbish and I highly recommend that you don't get them, especially if you live or drive in hilly areas.
