I’m waiting for a few things still but I’m putting Brembo pads and wear sensors on. My disks don’t need replacing, yet, but if they had I’d bought them too.
The price was right and I like the brand in general. As for whether they’re better/worse/longer lasting/another criteria, no idea.

I have the Brembo discs and pads on both front and rear. They perform well, but I do get a lot of brake dust from them.Kev

I did the same but upgraded mine to the V8 spec discs (front and rear) and also put on braided hoses at the same time... not cheap but what a difference when it comes to stopping 8) perfect when towing a trailer or caravan...
AF do some nice kits but didn't have the new carriers in stock when I looked so I went for the kit from Maltings 4x4 (they have an Ebay shop)... very good service and had everything in stock... if you phone them they will change parts of the package to suit (I went for upgraded pads as well)
Front
Rear
Wheels could do with cleaning though but very little brake dust I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I put Akebono Ceramic on all 4 corners over 25k miles ago
Just inspected at the last tire rotation, and I am amazed that they still look plenty thick (~3/8")
Exceptional wear + dramatically less dust + no noise = highly recommendDoug

Sorry to be a pain but you have the disc’s on with the slots on back to front they should go with rotation not against .
