Hi guys,
I’ve bought a set of new, genuine v8 discs on eBay for £20 to do the big brake conversion. I’m going to order the v8 carriers from AF but wondered which pads people recommend please.
My last set were all brembo and was neither here nor there regarding performance.
Thanks,

Lucky on the disks. I use ceramic all-round on mine and so far so good

I use the Terafirma ceramic pads and think they are great good performance and no brake dust on the wheels us an added bonus Andrew

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Need to order the carriers and pads now, hoping to feel the difference of the v8 parts but we’ll see 2006 D3 Zambezi silver, TDV6 Auto

Used Meyle pads from advanced factors along with Meyle discs, great braking but the brake dust is extreme, its wrecking my front wheels

You will notice an improvement particularly in pad and disc life, but they will never be as good as a D4. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I'm extremely happy with my EBC Yellow pads. Low dust and good braking power.

I have over 35,000 miles on my Akebono Euro Ceramic (US V8 HSE)
. . . and I swear it looks like %60+ life is still left on them - and virtually no brake dust!
Definitely buying again next time Doug
