Introduction Range Rovers are equipped with disc brakes all round. Front discs are 298.17mm (11.75") diameter (solid discs up to October 1989, vented from then onwards) and rears are 290.0mm (11.42") diameter. Rear discs on all models are solid. ABS was fitted to Vogue SE models from 1990 onwards as standard, and was available as an option on other models. Uprated Brakes We have 3 kits available for uprating the Range Rover's braking system, depending on the year of the vehicle and whether just the front, or the front & rear, are to be improved. All of the kits contain grooved (handed) discs - ventilated at the front and solid at the rear - and carbon/kevlar brake pads. To complement our uprated brake kits, but also suitable for standard brakes, we stock stainless steel braided brake hoses, which improve brake line pressure and brake pedal feel. Important Imperial & Metric threads - 1970 to 1989 The threads in the brake system of early (1970 to approx. 1984) Range Rovers are imperial (UNF). In 1984, calipers were changed to metric threads. Although similar in appearance, the two threads cannot be mixed; therefore, it is important to identify the type fitted to your vehicle before ordering replacement parts: Imperial threads. Front axle suffixes A,B,C,D & E and rear axle to suffix C, use imperial threads. (1970 to approx. 1984). Metric threads. Front axle suffix F and rear axle suffix D (approx. 1984) onwards use metric threads. In addition, metric threads are marked with the letter M on one of the flats at the base of the threads. Finally, with the introduction of metric threads, a new Lockheed master cylinder was fitted, incorporating an integral PDWA & warning switch. Imperial & Metric threads - 1990 onwards With the introduction of vented front discs from VIN GA (October 1989), imperial threads were again used in the brake calipers. In 1994, these were changed to metric.

EBC Turbo Groove Brake Discs

Advantages
• 'Blind' degassing holes reduce chance of stress cracks, common with 'through drilling'.
• Full sweep wide scraper grooves help deglaze pads, reduce fade and promote parallel pad wear during use.
• Grooves extended to outer diameter allow exit of dust, grit etc from braking area. (grooves that stop short only capture dust and grit and cause disc marking)
• Zinc plate and gold passivate finish improves cosmetic appearance beneath alloys and prevents corrosion on areas not swept by the pad.
• Premium quality British made product, TUV approved, x-ray inspected and balanced.
• This disc configuration used with Kevlar pads will virtually eliminate brake fade by breaking down the surface gases produced by hot pads thus helping the pad remain in effective contact with the disc.
• This disc pad combination gives the ultimate braking performance from a standard system.

For improving the braking ability of your Range Rover when performance and/or handling improvements have been carried out, we have the following Uprated Brake Kits available.
