You won't notice a huge difference if they are going onto a 3.0 D4...My D3 Build Thread

Need to be realistic. Same discs, similar pad surface area...
Depending on wheels, you may find they won't fit without spacers...My D3 Build Thread

Really why do you say that? Personally think my D4 brakes are poor and with this mod on my list of to do's, I am a little surprised to hear this.
Surely a 4 pot would apply more even pressure on the pad to improve stopping power.
My last car was an R line Touareg which is well over two tonne and had 4 pots and Ive got to say had considerably better braking than the Disco. I know a Disco and Treg are apples and pears, but having owned 4 cars with Brembo's Ive got to say how impressed ive always been with them.
Thought the RR Sport Brembo upgrade was the answer Last of the D4 HSE...

Discs are the same size, and the pad surface area is very similar
If you want a meaningful upgrade to the 3.0 brakes, you need the 6 pot Brembos from an FFRR/RRS My D3 Build Thread
