Brake Discs
Need to change all four brake discs (and pads !) on the 90 soon, vented front and non vented rear.

Choices are OEM or Brembo at the moment. EBC were in there as well but I know a couple of people who have had problems with EBC discs albeit not on Land Rovers.

Used Brembo on a 911 and the last Boxster without issue.

The 90 will be mainly used off road.

Any advice or other options greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Bob: No real point in spending the extra if you are going to off road it and use brakes at lower speeds. The disc surfaces will be making contact with pads which have dirt inbetween, so you'd be better off with the OEM option really.
