This Front Vented Brake Upgrade Kit, commonly referred to as the “Defender brake upgrade,” is designed to fit the Land Rover Discovery 1 (LJ / LG, 1994–1999) and provides a significant improvement over the factory front braking system.

This upgrade uses vented front brake components traditionally associated with Defender applications, making it a popular and proven conversion for Discovery 1 owners seeking better braking performance, improved heat dissipation, and reduced brake fade under demanding conditions.

The kit includes front vented brake rotors, brake pads, and front calipers, delivering a complete front brake upgrade solution. An optional configuration is available with new hard brake tubes, recommended if your existing lines are damaged, corroded, or break during removal.

Kit Options Available:

Defender Brake Upgrade Kit (No Brake Tubes)
Includes vented rotors, pads, and calipers. Intended for customers who plan to reuse and modify their existing hard brake lines.
Defender Brake Upgrade Kit with New Brake Tubes
Includes all braking components plus new hard brake tubes. Brake tubes must be bent during installation.

This upgrade is widely chosen by Discovery 1 owners due to its durability, availability of service parts, and proven braking performance

Important Brake Tube & Installation Information (Please Read)

Brake tubes used with this upgrade are hard brake lines
Brake tubes are NOT pre-bent
Brake tubes must be bent and shaped during installation to align correctly with the upgraded calipers
If reusing factory Discovery 1 brake tubes, they will also need to be reworked and bent to suit the new caliper position

We strongly recommend using a proper brake line bending tool to ensure smooth bends, prevent kinks, and maintain safe braking pressure. Improperly bent brake lines can compromise braking performance and safety.
