Ebc discs and green stuff pads any good?

Looking to replace discs and pads on my 1999 td5 90. Have looked at a number of types. Car is used mainly for Laning and off road but also for towing twin axle caravan. Almost at point if buying Ebc grooved discs and green stuff pads, anybody got them ? Any good?

Thanks in advance

Yes ... and yes

Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

The others I'm looking at are terrafirma with ferodo pads about £30 less. Not sure what to do?

Cant comment on those .... but i fitted EBC slotted discs and green pads a while ago to my tweaked 90.

Normal braking dont really notice a difference - but press the pedal a bit harder [or need to anchor up suddenly] and the bloody thing almost stands on its nose

I have EBC discs and pads on my 110, they have ben on over a year (12k miles) no problems, Paddocks had the best prices when i bought.
110's around 2005 were fitted with two different disc diameters, measure before ordering

I also went for EBC vented/slotted with green pads for the front of my 90, work VERY well considering the bigger tyres fitted. Optimists say the glass is half full..
Pessimists say the glass is half empty..
Engineers say the glass is twice the size it needs to be!

I can't comment on that, I never priced up OEM, I went straight for EBC on a recommendation from my local Land Rover indie.... good advise it was too. Optimists say the glass is half full..

How does the improved braking affect Traction Control? Is TC better/worse/no different? --
