Hey Ozmag Doc here from Queensland
I use these guys https://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/
The owners name is David Zeckhausen very helpful
I first used him for the wife's jeep Grand Cherokee got drilled and slotted cryoed stop tech rotors
The jeep has done over 100,000k,s since then the rotors have no visible lip yet
I have also used the cryo rotors on my 95 XJR6 and 04 XJ8 as well
I use Akebono pads Home | Akebono as they are a true low dust brake pad
They have a supplier in western Australia http://www.akebonobrakes.com.au/ supplying the Akebono pads here in Australia he didn't have my pads in stock in the three cars I have used the akebono pads on at the time I needed them
Using the Akebonos my wheels are spotless the car needs cleaning before the wheels some of the guys that are trackdaying their cars complain about the akebonos
I don't track-day my cars but I do drive them interstate and do some really long trips in them and never had a problem I had such good results from the akebonos that I never wanted to try anything else
David should be able to put a package together
I bought most of my Akebonos of Amazon at clearance prices just did research to find out what part numbers I needed
I use Bongo https://bongous.com/ us as my shipping forwarder for everything I buy in the US
Hope this helps

Have a look here then https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...rotors-129343/
There are several sources of aftermarket rotors to suit the Alcons, ranging from very cheap to outrageously expensive.
$2750 from an aussie Jag dealer sounds pretty cheap for a brake job on an Alcon car...
