Need new front brakes.  I'm willing to wait on the rears for another month or two.

Of course, I could just go with stock.  No problem.  Just wondering if you have any specific recommendations for the DII.

I do tow the 2600 lbs tent trailer over the mountains 5-6 times a year, other than the light trail use, I'm a pretty normal driver.  I am also interested in how to keep them from squeeling.

Any thoughts on slotted rotors?  I guess the EBC are slotted, so you probably like them.

I don't think I want the greenstuff pads, they would probably be good for the road trips and towing, but not nessisary.

How about anti-squeal techniques?

The rotors on my truck now are vented. That's OEM isn't it?

Stay away from the Greenstuffs.  I didnt not have a good experience with longevity and like others have said they dont grab untill warmed up and even then the "grabing" feeling just isnt there like it was when stock.  I got front no name rotors and rear brembos when I did the brake job with the greenstuffs a few years ago and the no name fronts ended up warping on me.

Recently I switched to Mintex pads w/ Raybestos rotors for the front and kept the Brembo rear rotors. So far so good and I got front and rear Mintex shipped to my door for 86 bucks from JohnB on Discoweb. 

My .02 cents.

I'm with Craig. I had EBC slotted rotors on my D1,  135$ each ,stop the same as what was on their before and they  warped within a year. Two weeks ago I replaced them with Brembo rotors. 155$ for all four. Used Ferodo pads,  was told their the same as OEM.

Also swapped front calipers to D90. Made a huge improvement. But they wont fit a DII.

Are we talking about front or rear brakes on a D2?  OEM should be vented on the front.  Otherwise, carry on.

Also, I'm still a big fan of Greenstuff pads.  They are, by definition, designed to wear more quickly than stock pads.  I like the bias towards road use that they have since that's where I spend most of my time (unfortunately) and coming down mountain passes, etc, is when I'll probably need them most.  Off road, low speed stuff I'm not as concerned about.  It is my reasoning that if I need more brake and I don't have it in an off road situation, it's probably because I have lost traction rather than over-driven my brakes.

Thanks for clarifying... by vented I meant that mine aren't drilled, slotted, or dimpled. Using your description, which is probably the correct description, my front rotors are vented.
 

Per my Land Rover manual, I downshift when decending long downhill slopes.

I wasn't clear-when I read "vented" in an OEM app I mean that there is a space between the inner and outer braking surface of the rotor that has channels forged into it to vent hot air. I don't mean like the EBC or similar drilled, dimpled, or slotted type of ventilation.

That's what I was referring to. The space between the inner and outer surfaces. On the DI's and RRC's I think they actually were "solid". 

I just went down the street and ordered whatever Shipman has.  He's getting it delivered this morning, so I'll see what they are when I get them!  After asking around -- yes, I could have gone with an "upgrade", but except in cases where you get the most expensive options, it seems that people find that their Rover still stops fine with OEM stuff!

I'll post back with a review.
