Hella Pagid 355016151 Front Brake Pad Set, Low-Metallic

This is the Hella Pagid 355016151 front disc brake pad set, a low-metallic pad kit built to bring a Land Rover or Range Rover front axle back to factory stopping power. It's the same Hella Pagid engineering that supplies original-equipment brake components to European automakers, so the fit, the feel, and the wear behavior all track close to what rolled off the line.

Fitment covers a wide slice of the Land Rover family from roughly 2010 through 2024. That includes Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, the current Defender 90, 110 and 130, and Discovery. Across those model lines you're looking at everything from 2.0-liter turbo fours up to the 5.0-liter supercharged V8, so the front axle sees real load. Always confirm your exact year and trim before you order. This set cross-references LR114004, LR020362, LR064181, LR083935, LR093886 and LR160069, and matching one of those on your old pads or in your parts catalog is the surest way to know you've got the right kit.

Low-metallic friction is the workhorse compound for heavier European SUVs. It bites hard when cold, holds up under repeated hard stops, and sheds heat well on long descents with a loaded truck. You'll trade a little more brake dust and a touch more noise than a softer compound, but you get the firm, confident pedal these vehicles were tuned around. If you tow, haul, or spend time in the hills, that's the tradeoff you want.

The set is sensor-ready. The backing plates are cut for the factory wear sensor, but the sensor itself isn't in the box. If your old sensor is tripped or damaged, order a fresh one at the same time so you're not pulling the wheel twice. Adhesive-backed shims come attached to the pads to keep things quiet and cut down on vibration, which saves you a step during install.

Physical dimensions: each pad measures 189.7 mm wide, 95.5 mm tall, and 16.9 mm thick, and the set ships at about 8.82 pounds. Those are front-axle numbers. This is not a rear pad set, so don't try to make it work back there.

Installing them is straightforward if you've done a brake job before. Pop the caliper, compress the piston, swap the pads, and torque the guide pins and caliper bolts to Land Rover spec. Fresh hardware and a little high-temp brake grease on the contact points go a long way toward a quiet, rattle-free result. If your rotors are grooved, below minimum thickness, or have a lip you can feel, replace them too. New pads on tired rotors never bed in right and you'll be back under the truck sooner than you'd like.

Speaking of bedding in: low-metallic pads want a proper break-in. Do ten to fifteen moderate stops from around 35 mph down to walking speed, easing off before you come to a full stop, then let everything cool. That transfers an even layer of friction material onto the rotor face and heads off the glazing and vibration that show up when pads get slammed hard while they're still green. Skip it and you can feel it within the first fifty miles.

A quick word on dust. Low-metallic compounds throw more dust than the softest street pads, and on a light-colored wheel you'll notice it between washes. That's normal for this class of pad and it's the price of the bite and heat tolerance. A rinse when you clean the truck keeps the wheels looking sharp, and it won't hurt the finish.

Who's this for? Owners and independent shops who want a genuine Hella Pagid pad without paying dealer counter prices. For a vehicle this heavy, the front brakes do the lion's share of the work, and cutting corners there isn't worth it. Put them on right, bed them in, and they just work. If you're not sure whether your truck takes this front set, send us the VIN or your old part number and we'll confirm before you buy.
