and to no avail have I ever found an upgraded braking system for a Land Rover discovery outside of portal axles.

Do any of you lot here know anything about utilizing a different brands brake calipers on a different vehicle?

I previously had a full set of Porsche Cayenne GTS calipers and rotors. I never got around to trying to fit them on the rover because:

1. I did not have the time when I was selling cars

2. I would have needed new wheels and tires to fit over a 15"+ rotor and large 6 piston caliper.

This kit appears on the Rovers North Blog and appears to be for Series rigs only, queue me haz a sad face.

Recommendations for legit larger braking systems will be greatly appreciated

custom made caliper mounting brackets, other than that there shouldn't be too much of an issue so long as there's enough room.

Sounds like it's time to start thinking with portals.

Special bracket is required for a new caliper, past that you just need a well-matched rotor with room for the hub and the right stud pattern. There is one point, and that is that the brake balance will be affected. The ABS system might get confused - I don't know enough about Jazzy(?)'s system to say that with authority.

I'm putting new non-stock brakes on the front of my Ranchero, but it's something that has already been engineered - new hub (for five-lug), Previa brake disk, Chevy Celebrity Caliper, and a custom bracket. I've got Jag brakes in rear, so I'll be using a new dual brake master and a proportioning valve.
