I too am interested in this mod, but wondered how it would affect the ABS calibration. I thought it just went on wheel rotation, but I have heard there may be more to it.

yes it does stop better ,4 pistons against 1 on the sliding caliper got to be better,and it wasnt to expensive to do |

I've been thinking about this. I was really disappointed with the brakes on the 2010 model (my old tdv8 stopped on s sixpence)

I asked LR Independent about retro fitting Brembos to my RR, and they said would not fit on a 2010 model. |

ive always wondered how much bigger the pads are on those Brembo's, as they look a huge caliper, but when you look at the pad, its just a normal-ish caliper size, with big ears! i know the disc is slightly larger, -but doing the maths, how much bigger are the pads when put against each other, surely thats the bit that matters. |

How so, they still fitted them to the supercharged in the 2010 run. The mountings are the same. Dan from duckworths quoted me for the lot to do the conversion. I intend to do it when it warms up a bit. Steve You remind me of a young me, not much younger mind, perhaps even a little older! |

I agree, the pads are actually smaller in there swept volume of the disc. The braking force must be increased. Like i say, i fitted them to my discovery and the difference was night and day. Steve You remind me of a young me, not much younger mind, perhaps even a little older! |
