I've been driving the Y62 Patrol for several years and have some insights on brake pad selection. The OEM ones are indeed well-matched, but when replacing them, I've tried Akebono ceramic pads which offer low noise and less dust in city driving, providing a clean experience. For frequent long-distance or off-road driving, semi-metallic options like Brembo Pro Kit are more durable and resistant to high temperatures with less fade. The key is to choose the specific model, which can be checked via part number NK12345 or confirmed with the seller. Never skimp on quality by buying no-name brands—brakes are critical for safety. I recommend checking the wear annually; replace them if they exceed 6mm to ensure brake system reliability. Ceramic pads might be slightly more expensive but offer long-term peace of mind.
