nobody can answer that for you.... (i think)
for sale at the same shops? same country's even? where are they made? used material? at what tolerances? i doubt that people have measured them to that extent here...
what i do know is, that if a disk is not off good quality it is a pain to drive... (juddering etc) it is double work and costs to change them again... so better to do it in one time 100% ok...
and what is 50% pricing in disks... not worth the money for my trying out... especialy on the rear... (front is rather easy though, but still)
Meyle is overall considered a brand very with good stuff..for LR's i do not know Einbach..Best regards

look at advanced factors website and/or island4x4 both have performance upgrade kits...
at very good prices...
buying in the UK though is at least 40 gbp a order more expensive though as it was before 1 january 2021
due to admin and taxes fee's (not talking about tax, but the fee's for forms) now.... so for us on the EU mainland buying from UK is not very interesting anymore ... ( i heard 70% decline in export allready) very very sorry for that
but maybe you were used to that extra costs allready since swiss was not in the EU anyway...Best regards

Plus one for Meyle, always found them to be good quality, had a few issues with Eibach, bits wearing quickly... but who's to say ?
I took the jump and went to the V8 brake kit so no issues there..I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Isn’t that a retrograde step on a D4 unless you go with Brembo?- V8 are smaller diameter than standard D4!It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Hi,
I went for the v8 upgrade set from advanced factors to do front and back, I thought the price was pretty good and you get every thing need from what I remember.

I guess a good OEM product is worth the money. In this regard I would stay with ATE TEVES, Jurid, Brembo....Achim
