Default Brake pad upgrades?

I have a 2017 S model. Looking for street performance pads as an upgrade to stock. Anyone done this yet? Yes, Are the calipers on the S the same as on any other Jag model? Yup, The F Pace will be going to a track day in May.

If you are tracking your S I suggest you do the VelocityAP ECU tune for 416hp. If you do the pulley upgrade too it would be 455whp. A member just recorded a 0-60 in 4.6s (no pulley upgrade). If you email Stuart at stuart@velocityap.com you might get a discount. I've had the 416hp upgrade for over a year now.

I was considering the ECU flash as I have done this on previous cars. As far as brake pad upgrade goes I found that EBC has several different levels of pads. I ordered a front and rear set of Yellow pads for the S. Also ordered BMC air filters for stock airboxes.

Cool man, hope you have fun. Definitely a good idea to upgrade the pads. Where did you purchase them from?

I will also be going to hi temp brake fluid. It's good to flush the fluid once a year anyway and when repeatedly hauling the weight of the F Pace down from speed this will help keep the brakes functioning well. Not the ideal car for a track day, but only thing I have at the moment that's ready to go. That and the streets aren't the place to explore the limits of a cars performance.

installed EBC 'yellow stuff" pads and bedded them in following manufacturer directions. pads have bedding compound on them. very noticeable difference from stock. so far only on street, but much firmer and linear bite with moderate pressure. Definitely an improvement. Looking forward to use them at track day next month.

How can I tell which rotors I have? 2017 Premium with 19". I would assume the smaller one?
