I have to wonder how hard and fast a person drives before they find the braking is weak.Knowing about engine braking and the correct way to slow a car down to bring it to a stop has not been taught. They only time when excessive braking is necessary is in an emergency. Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner |

These cars chew through brakes. The OEM grade of pads are very poor, especially in the generation of brake dust.

Just a thought, are the brake discs on my 3.2 i6 Freely better than the standard FL2? Probably save a lot of faffing about?

The 3.2 has slightly bigger discs than the 2.2

Nice one, it appears the front are similar but a lot bigger on the rear for the 3.2

I would have said that the fronts are a little bigger 316 vs 302 but yeah the major difference is the rears vented vs. solid.

To be honest i'm not interested in stopping any quicker. The factory brakes are "fine" in that sense.

bit of an eye opener as to the size of the front rotors and calipers compared to stock

I understood you run through a number of attempts and different set up involving volvo components etc... but now can you resume all the components finally installed sharing the links where to buy them if possible?

I bought everything off ebay.com (USA) and had them shipped to Australia, this might not be the most economical way to Italy...
