V8 Brake Upgrade

NOW CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST

V8 brake upgrade kits for Disco 3. Includes everything needed to swap to the larger V8 discs for improved braking. The fronts can be upgraded on their own, or front and rear at the same time. It is not advisable to upgrade the rears only.
You will need a minimum of 18" wheels to clear the larger brake setup

For each axle, you will receive:

2x V8 caliper carriers
2x V8 Brake discs
1x Set of brake pads
1x wear sensor

I can also supply a set of EPB shoes + fitting kit

Front upgrade is priced at £197, plus £12.50 postage (UK mainland only)
Rear upgrade is priced at £198 + post
EPB shoes + kit are an extra £115 if req.

If you purchase both sets, the postage will be £18, as courier prices vary by weight. My D3 Build Thread

Good idea, Mikey.

Any chance you could add "Rears Only" to the signup, please, for those folks who have already upgraded their fronts? I may do the rear end next month depending on what joyous news a 90k service and MOT brings... Whistle

Do you think it is worthwhile adding a price fitted for those local ish and those that might be passing North South and vice versa ?

Just a thought ?
As I had mine fitted, being useless with anything mechanical I have to have a price fitted Embarassed Only dead fish go with the Flow !

Are these prices for LR Genuine Parts or are they from another manufacturer? 2021 BMW iX3 Premier Edition in Carbon Black ⚡️🔌

These are from another manufacturer. To use genuine parts would make it a whole lot more expensive Thumbs Up

Chalky, I didn't want to add fitting prices for a few reasons. If anyone needs them fitting, feel free to drop me a PM Thumbs Up

And I have edited the sign-ups again. There are now Front only, Rear only, and Front + Rear. If you need EPB shoes, again, PM me My D3 Build Thread

Will these kits fit and improve the D4' braking?

Just thinking that when I come to need new discs, pads etc it may be worth looking at.

Actually, he doesn't. D4 front discs are the same size as pre-2010 Brembo'd RRS. This would be a step backwards on a D4 My D3 Build Thread
