United Kingdom 1995 Defender 130 300 Tdi HCPU Alpine White
I'm not wanting bling factor just best stopping power. I was planning on putting grooved and dimpled on it as that what it has from previous owner. So what will be best for my 130 that will be up to max weight on a regular basis and see a bit of mud. Will there be any difference between these,

Or a more expensive set like these,

For no other reason than you say it will see mud I would go with either a plain or vented disc not a textured surface one simply because such surfaces will potentially hold more mud and this will act as an abrasive on both the disc and pads causing premature wear. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Well at £52.80 vs £92.90 or £154.07, then i think I'd be starting with a set of the cheap ones and see how you get on. If they do the job then you have the spare money in your pocket; and if they do not then you can move on to a different type/brand. The Mintex information is particularly poor on Paddocks (and others websites).
