Choice between Britpart or Brembo Disc Brakes

Hello all disco 3 people Smile

Currently I have 100.000km with my Britpart slotted + drilled + vented front discs DA4612.
This in combination with EBC brake pads Green stuff.
Now the discs have wear but also not in even lines... time to change!

>> I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OPINIONS weather i choose to get back with Britpart DA4612 brakes
OR
Chosing for the BREMBO disc brakes who are not drilled and slotted, only vented.

Any findings / advice ?

car: Discover 3 2.7tdv6 MY 2007

Reards,
Glenn

@lynalldiscovery: I know but the last 30.000 they wear really un even... that's the reason of my question.

Anyone who has the Brembo brake discs tested?

@discomikey: Thank You, other wise i'm also satisfied ... Brembo's here cost the same price that is also
one of the reasons of my post... isn't Brembo usually better than many others?

100k is impressing. But maybe they have been "well done" a while?

Had my brembo discs with trw pads 40k, just over 2 years. Slight wear on discs, very even. Close to zero rust, coated them well before fitting though.

@ Gerreth,
I'm using for many years the EBC Green stuff now and they are very goor, also GRIP from the beginning.
Dust, you wil have this with every pad, also when the manufacturer says it will be less...

@LR3Norway
Isn't Brembo already using a special coating?

My brembo discs had no primer/paint. Just oil.
Was expecting some kind of coating.

Washed them properly and gave them 4 layers total. Inox weld primer and black exhaust paint. Cooked them with IR light between.
