Thought I would post my finding regarding the TRW dtec low dust brake pads I fitted a few weeks ago, my old pads were well past there best and have always created loads of dust turning my standard 6 spoke alloys into a almost gunmetal colour after a week.
I bedded them in for the 150 miles as instructed and during this week there was noticable dust and as expected loss of brake feel due to the bedding in.
Now the pads are bedded in I can confirm that after 400 miles most of which are 4-8 miles max round country roads quite heavy on the brakes the dust levels are almost none the wheels look the same colour as they came from the factory the brakes feel much more sure footed and the difference between these pads and the ones fitted last year are night and day these give me the confidence I was missing with the old pads.
In short these are in my opinion well worth the extra, I fitted both front and back and only time will tell how long they last.Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Best brake pad out there, cannot think of a reason to fit anything else.

I agree, fitted them to mine a month ago and after the initial bedding in of about 150 miles I now feel the brakes are a lot better and the dust levels virtually non existent.
Bought mine from Advanced Factors and can recommend both them and the pads
