Which Type Of Rotors Are Best? - Land Rovers Only

UsedBlue · 04-03-2008, 01:54 PM

The front brakes on my Disco I 1994 are bouncing like crazy! I need to find the best type of rotors for my Disco, but there are flat ones, slotted ones with holes, holes ones with diamond grooves, and then the gold zinc colored with holes and zinc ones with holes and diamond grooves! Is there anyone out there that has experience with the performance and longevity on rotors for these old Discos?
I plan to keep my Disco for a LONG time- but don't want to spend a lot of money if it's not necessary.
Please advise!

the BEST fix would be to put D90 brakes on it.

D90 calipers
D90 pads
D90 rotors

they bolt up and its the best mod you can do. i also hear, but have no experience, you can put D110 calipers on a Disco and still keep your Disco rotors. Might want to research that one.

Roger that...

Next best thing are DBA Rotors with your choice of Stock Pads or Kevlar Pads

any rotor that is grooved and cross drilled only causes pulsations from the rust that builds up quickly.

stick with the regular ones that arent grooved.
