normally the 90 brakes are never a problem . brake shoes have gotten to be none too clever these days with the advent of no asbestos in them .
you shouldnt really have any trouble with most brake shoes , ie mintex std or the county brand .
most 90s hardly wear the pads down , they will almost last for years .
you say youre engine is uprated , do you have a v-8 petrol engine or a diesel , if its petrol you need to check the engine vacuum reading as it may have a lot less vacuum now to run the brake servo and you may be suffering in that respect.
this is allways an issue when fitting performance camshafts .
to help aleviate this add a vacuum assist tank in the hose to the servo , you can get these from SUMMIT RACING in the usa , or try something else of a similar nature .
if you have a diesel , is it a vacuum pump used for braking , if so check the pump and hoses connecting between pump and servo .
if you are constantly braking hard , and moreover you keep whacking the brakes on when you think they are fading , then you will heat up the calipers and thus the brake fluid, this will , if you carry on braking hard cause the brake fluid to boil and youll get air bubbles in the brake lines leaving the brakes inoperable .
range rovers are allways hard on front brake pads but i find 90s are completely the opposite .
