Brakes 2005 Lr3 V8 Help?

[LRB]

Hi and thanks in advance for those who respond. I just had my brake light come on and flashes yellow and info screen tells me to check pads. It looks like my front pads. My queston is, what brands/materials should I get and do I need to replace sensor wire or just sensor. I want these brakes to be quiet always and have the same bite/power as the stock ones. Please let me know what your expiriences are, Thanks.

I have EBC green pads on all 4 corners. No difference in performance from stock, except less dust. Zero squeeks, but I think that is more a function of the paste on the backside of the pads. If the dash lit up, you will need new sensor wires on alteast one axle. I ended up breaking the other in the install process.

I prefer to go OEM. Here is one source:

Just got a set of EBC pads and discs for my dads truck and the difference is night and day. The EBC's on my LR3 have held up great and grab much better than the stockers.

EBC for me too. Very happy with them.

I didn't put new rotors on because they were still in spec. The squeal was CRAZY loud for about four days, now its very quiet & the brakes work very well. I suspect if you started with new rotors you'd avoid all the squeaks!
