I have fitted them on a couple of D3's and they seem fine! I had to grind them slightly though to make them fit Shocked

Its a long time since I last used them but if I recall correctly I had to do a very slight grind near the seat face with the carrier. You can get kits to rebuild the original calipers including the sliders, pistons, etc if your old ones are serviceable!

Be careful the heat doesn't distort your disc!!

My D3 fronts have been on for over 4 years now.
90 has had britpart ones for much onger than that as has the S2.

I dont normally like britpart anything as some of their stuff is just shocking, but these have been just fine.

My D4 is on Britpart brakes. No problems at all. I reckon they are better than LR genuine.
