Anyone had any experience with Terrafirma front brake discs, are they any good?
Spotted them for sale at a good price from Maltings Off Road which, I'm sure as a supplier, have had good reviews on here.

I used the drilled ones on fatty off roader, they clear mud quicker than solid discs...

Worked well, couldn't tell the difference to normal ones, I think pads have a bigger impact on braking than discs..  Pete

I’ve got some on the front of the Landy - they seem fine. Maltings are a decent supplier.

Thanks both I'll get my order in today.

The genuine ones are not that expensive and likley to be better balanced for road use (there is a lot of rotating mass on the fronts). Most of the braking is done on the fronts and I'd not want to compromise on these personally. Also Grooved / vented disks are classed as a modification so you will need to inform your insurer. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Grooved has always been noisy on ffrr from my experience...

Ive got drilled and grooved discs all round on my TDV8 4.4. They work well however they are a bit noisier than standard and (in my case ) you can feel them through the brake peddle.

I went for Brembo on the FF, but happy to go aftermarket on the defender. In my view, the decision to go OEMor pattern depends on things like what it’s for and how much the car is worth. I’ve got a CLK that I gave 4,000 for - when I did the brakes I opted against paying MB 450 for the privilege and put TRW discs on for around 110. My fatty however is under 90,000 and with a FSH so it’s worth spending a bit more on.

Thanks all for your advice.
Paul.

Grooves and holes on disks are there for a specific purpose which is not required in normal road use and may infect result in inferior performance in an emergency stop road situation. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I have got these on my l320 from maltings also, I did a google search of noisy terrafirma discs to see if anyone else had squealing brakes, Mine are paired with ebc yellowstuff pads and have done over 500 miles on newly refurbished 6 pot brembos, These alot of black dust on the discs, I think its the discs but not certain, What would everyone think is causing the horrendous squealing when braking?
