Brakes Discs Pads and shocks!!!

Hi All

At the last maintenance, around 14K kms, my car replaced both the discs and the pads. TDV8 Brembo equipped.
Then it started to moan like i had a mad-cow lurking beneath the car every time I braked at slow speeds. Turns out both the discs and pads were warped. I had a set replaced under warranty, but now, after 14k and on the second set of pads, I got he brake pad warning... So there goes a 2nd set of pads.
My opinion, either LR bought a bad batch of pads from their supplier or they are now like that!!!!

That takes me to the question...
If I want to replace the discs and pads, what do you guys recommend? EBC, Britpart, all makes, LR?
I checked the LRDirect website and they have a bunch of options....

Other than that, rear shocks are in need of replacement. What to you recommend, Bilsteins, Delphi, Britpart, all makes, etc....

Thanks for the help

I would get the calipers checked, if they are binding then that could be enough to overheat and wreck the first set, then freed off a bit when they were replaced but still sticking, have prematurely worn out the second set of pads..

EBC are well made, used then on numerous cars with no issues... Thumbs Up Pete

Up until the point of that service, my car never had any problems with discs and/or pads. All were worn ok without any issue. Normal Kms intervals, everything ok.
It's only when i had that replacement that things got weary.
The car made no noises or whatever under heavy braking, but under small creeping mode like in traffic, just feathering the brakes, they would moan like hell. When they acknowledged the problem and replaced them, everything was tested, wheels spun ok, but the discs and pads where in a messy state. Pads were full of silvery dots (the discs were melting into the pads) and the discs were not smooth. If you ran your finger across them, seemed like they had been scraped. Not a smooth, flat surface, but a groovy surface Shocked

The sensation, was like it was a very low quality product that looked like a sponge or cheese. weak...
