Default Brake ****

I showed the superb supersprint system to you guys well its also time for P B Brakes to take a bow
these are what the f type should have had instead of the hideously expensive carbon ceramic set up that will make you cry if one gets chipped or knocked during day to day use

8 piston front and 380x32 floating disc
6 piston rear with parking brake and 380x28 floating disc

These look really great.
Do you need new caliper brackets for these?
Do you know if the discs would work with the existing calipers? If so these could be a great alternative to the Wortec units
What was the total cost?

Looking forward to your road test report once they are installed.

Will the PB rotors work with the OEM calipers?

@bcbruno Last time I priced a set out the pads were for a panamera, so you're probably onto something.

I’ve been running PB front and rear kits on my XJ for two years now and I love them. They look fantastic and perform flawlessly. Enjoy!

Was there a reason you didn't opt for the larger discs? I have been looking @ these for quite some time.

Man those brakes are bad *** looking and Im sure a very big upgrade from even the factory "big" performance brake package on my SVR. I just got done painting my factory calipers gloss red and replacing the factory Jaguar decals on them as the calipers looked like junk compared to the expensive forged 3-piece custom 21" B-forged Wheels I just installed. One of the big factors in building the 3-piece wheels for my car was clearing the factory calipers. In order to make a 3-piece wheels fit they had to go up to 21" inches rather than the factory 20" inch wheels that came on my SVR. I went with 21x9 fronts and 21x11 rears which were factory widths but with a different offset to flush them with the edges of the fenders. Can you tell if the front brakes you are adding stick out any further than the factory calipers? In the rear I have lots of room to fit larger calipers but Im concerned if I ordered these too if the front calipers will fit behind the wheels. One other question, are these brake calipers bolt-on to the factory mounts or do they require an adapter or cutting/welding? EDIT Nevermind on the last question, I went to their website and they come with brackets to bolt to factory locations if I am reading t correctly.
Thanks, Brent Day

Thank you for the info. After I posted the question to you I emailed P B Brakes and they already replied with the templates you mentioned. I'm going to have to check them out for sure. While the factory performance front brakes aren't too small in size or awful to look at, the rears look puny as hell. If I order them however I'm going to replace them all with a set just like the ones you bought if they will fit with my wheels.
