Front axle swap.

Nope, only thing you change is the disk, the caliper and the pipework - I looked at doing this myself but it looked like too much messing about to adapt to the two pipe caliper.

If it's really an issue why not look at uprated standard grooved/slotted disks and performance pads rather than the extra work upgrading to vented disks?

andyb:
Very little gain with vented disc off-road (IHMO). The 'vents' get blocked with mud very quickly and negate any gain that there may have been. For a road only vehicle then go for it. 

The EBC 'Green stuff' pads are also very good as an upgrade. Also look at stainless braided hoses, this will improve brake efficiency as the hoses don't ballon out under hard braking.

Thats great thanks.

The trouble is i tend get though discs a little to often. On me 3rd set already and i've only had it 2 years! :doh: :roll:

Range Rover Blues:
FIT A VENTED DISK KIT!

this will have the spacers for the callipers plus a new shiney pair of vented disks.  RRC have a different plumbing set up to Disco, ie they are dual circuit callipers, the non-vented Disco IIRC are single circuit with or without ABS.

TEMPER593:
Didn't know u could get them. Do u know where i can get a set?


Thanks TEMP.
