Brake Set Question

[ncburch22]

Sorry for flooding the tech thread with posts. Doing some preventive and timely maintenance as I've rolled over to 92,500mi recently.

My brakes are soon due for replacement. Lucky8 has a set of EBC slotted & drilled rotors/pads on sale for $648 from $950ish. Are these on sale for a negative reason? Has anyone used this set? I'm looking to yield brake dust by using ceramics over traditional. Additionally, I've found a few OEM sets on eBay for $500ish. Specially a Brembo set. I would of course have to purchase sensors, etc. no big deal. Opinions?

This thread is pretty exhaustive with regard to brakes on the LR4:

The short of it is that many on here use EBC brakes, but others choose to use OEM.

I put new EBC pads and rotors on mine back in early November and they are still doing great.

Price check these on placeforbrakes.com, which I found to be the cheapest when I bought mine.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check more thoroughly around on these threads for info prior to posting from now on.

No problem. It would just be hard to retype everything in that thread! Haha.
