Hey Spitfire, the cross drilled rotors and ceramic pads will make the car look even more awesome when done, and I've no doubt you'll do a great job, maybe even a write up with pics to show it off some?
What pads have you decided on? EBC Redstuff / Akebono?

I think I'll install the EBC Redstuff. I had checked those out before you mentioned them. Good to see that you did, so they must be decent pads. Need to get a complete set ordered in.

And pics? You bet. I'll do the whole thing and post.

The only issue is when. I pulled my lower back which has caused a major sciatic problem. Apparently can't lift more than 10lbs as per the Doc. Grrrrrrr......

Great stuff Spitfire...you won't regret the EBC Redstuff pads I'm sure. They'll look great with the cross drilled rotors too!
Are you adding the Jag valve caps too?
I'm looking forward to a full, all singing all dancing write up c/w lots of before during and after pics.....no pressure....lol

Sorry to hear about your back though, I sympathise. I put mine out 7 years ago and its never been right since, comes and goes though, good days and bad....Chiropractor helps some!
I know how you feel though. I had all my wheels off last week to clean / de-tar the inner wheel wheels and clean the wheel wells too. I had them all off today again to repaint the calipers n hubs....looks absolutely fabulous, but jeeesh I'm sore

LMFAO! Was going to say the same thing then read Translator's response.

From the head honcho himself, I would expect nothing less than a full featured, multi-media flash presentation

I had some of those on my other car, and then 6 months later when I went to put air in the tires I find out that the aluminum oxidized a bit and seized to the valve.. Never again..

Hi Spitfire, new to the forum. I love your centre caps. I'm waiting for a set of BBS 20" Sepangs to arrive for Spring mounting on my X350 VDP and was wondering where you sourced the centre caps and if they will fit on the Sepangs on even on my current factory 18" wheels.
Thanks, P onca

I have had aluminum valve caps sieze up also like some of the other posters on my S-Type. I am giving them one more try on my XKR with a generous amount of anti-sieze paste. Hope it works.
