Review on Power 17 1692 Evolution Ceramic Hardware by Ernest Etienne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2017 Land Rover Discovery just got a lot cleaner

The Discovery 5 OEM brake pads are terrible, so much brake dust. So I replaced the back pads with these ceramic pads. I don't have an LR encoder so I couldn't put the rear calipers into service mode. But don't let that stop you, simply loosen the two hex head screws (possibly Torx) on the emergency brake motor cover. With the cover off, simply stick a T-45 or something suitable into the open motor port to slide the pads back. I think it was counter clockwise but you can easily figure it out. After you have relaxed the engine, you can remove the caliper. Then all you need is a caliper tool to screw the caliper piston back in to make room for the new pads. Easy (if you have the tools). But more importantly, there is no more brake dust. By the way: The rear pads are practically gone after only 25,000 km, so hopefully this ceramic will last longer.

Pros
  • Low-dust ceramic brake pads that keep these wheels clean
Cons
  • New competitors are here
