LOF brakes

The D3 is due some new anchors all round and the last set were Delphi. No complaints but I’m keen to hear if anyone has fitted the LOF kit and what do they think of them? D3 G4 Selections car ‘08
L322 G4 2003 Event car ‘03
110 G4 Event car ‘03 and ‘06

Power Spec or Road Spec?

I was looking at these https://lofclutches.com/shop/brakes/brake-...brake-kit/ or https://lofclutches.com/shop/brakes/brake-...brake-kit/ and minded to go for the latter. Previously:
2010 FL2 TD4e GS
‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW - still got this, non-runner on SORN.
‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol
‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever!
Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch)
Series III SWB Diesel

Was really curious as was unsure what the LOF meant

Look amazing

I’ll most likely go for standard as drilled and grooved can be a pain with grit etc when off road. D3 G4 Selections car ‘08

That's interesting. I've never experienced slotted/grooved/drilled discs offroad and must confess that I was perhaps falling into the "more expensive therefore must be better" trap! Laughing

Having said that, I reckon the time I really want better brakes is on road and at faster speeds, where the fancy discs might hopefully buy that meter or so of shortened stopping distance. Previously:

On a vehicle like a Discovery I would think your tyre choice would make more of a difference for stopping distances than a slotted or drilled disc.

From memory, even my friends RRS SVR was fitted with solid discs* from the factory.

* Solid, but vented. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE
