ceramic brake retrofit

There's no reason why it shouldn't be a simple swap if you are willing to write a big check for parts, labor, and new wheels that will accommodate them. For warranty reasons, it would be safer to have a JLR dealer do it.

I thought I saw the upgrade as a kit on the Accessories on-line catalog, so it's probably just a (very expensive) swap at the corners.

I don't see them in either the online catalog or the hard copy version. However, with Jag's reputation for keeping neither properly updated, there's no strong indication the upgrade kit doesn't exist.

There are some "brake upgrade kit's" in the catalog but not for the Carbon Ceramics.
The Carbon Ceramics are referred to as a 20" brake kit in the catalog, so it's not one of the ones listed above.
All the parts for the Carbon Ceramics are available to buy if you wanted to make the conversion, but I think it'll be more expensive to buy it all in parts than it would have been to option it on a new car.
I priced up the bits from the XKR-S GT a year or so ago, just a set of four rotors and pads were around $13k at retail prices. Then add the cost of the four main calipers around $5k, plus all the little bits and pieces needed (dust shields, bolts, hoses, and the handbrake parts) easy $25k in parts, without taxes...
And then you've gotta fit them...

For whatever reason the wheel speed sensors on the rear axles are different with the CCB kit.
ABS modulator / module is the same for all as well. If there's a programming difference, it's not a big deal.

The master cylinder is the same for all the different brake options (there are changes by model year though).

Is there any way us mere mortals can gain access to the parts catalog(s) for the F-Types? I'm working on a couple projects that are dragging due to lack of info.
